Brilliant shots all, nice to see the faces from behind the keyboards!! Only wish I had been able to get down.

DaveB looked very much at home peering out from the 'office'...in some way it reminds me of the photograph Peter submitted of himself also looking out of the cockpit when he flew the Trident as captain.

Looking foeward to seeing the vid Tony.

Regards

Lovely shots lads :thumbsup: I've never seen anyone get so worked up over an ex-RAF Land Rover before and that shot of RIck's is no fluke :lol:

Love that 'running' shot of yours DG. Slightly slower shutter speed and a bit more blur :thumbsup:

I'm still like a dog with two tails to be honest. I went to bed last night excited and have been the same all day. :welldone:

I like that post above by Lewis!! :lol: :lol:
