Mark - trust me, as prices go that's about middle for a decent torch. (go google Lupine Betty X Pro headtorch...)

Um, a torch lights the path in front - surely my £4.99 maglight does that :rasp:

Actually I rarely use one - let the eyeballs get used to the dark and its ok :whistle:

ooo indeed ... great to see and hear the Vulcan but I think my favourite display of the day had to be the Chinook 8-)

They didn't fly at night or in the rain. :roll:
Anyway, Stu took most of the photo's, and he's at some kind of porn party tonight :shark: :shark:
That's where you want him to taking photos :shark: :shark:
Yeah as Dean says the Chinook was the best display 8-) Even the commentator said that Fast-jets are boring :lol:

WOW

What can I add to the great comments already. Stu, you are definately a star in organising this and anybody into Aviation this is a must. My appreciation to the guys in attendance, and the campfire chats. KingMav's words of wisdom made my evening especially.

A few pics I have, got home and found 638 keepers and many were binned cos I could'nt keep up with the Jets :lol:

Special thanks to Dean, already put more onto the CC due to his Mr Ben D3, where if you want it / Dean's got it. Amazing set up there sir. All I need to do now is find a Bigger Vango :lol:

Many thanks guys.

Mass Quote for the Weekend was with a Kitted Landcruiser trying to find level ground with his Roof tent and awning, Drove into branches and Stu shouted "tree", then with the hump the driver proceded to nearly drive into his wife, so Stu shouted "Wife", needless to say he drove further away from us. :lol:

Looks like it was a good weekend despite the rain. Shame I couldn't make it - though I was measured for me suit :headbang:
