Nice shots, folks. Here come mine. I have to say, I was disappointed that the spectator barrier was so close to the Aircraft, meaning it was impossible to get a clear shot without people in in the way, unlike last time. (sorry, moan over!) I used a slow shutter speed to get round prop discs, seems to have worked...

P.S. you must excuse the dust on the shots, I keep meaning to clean the camera, (coudn't be bothered to photoshop!!)

Nice to meet you all!!

Hi Garry..

That 'monstrosity' was there on Wed last and I think.. arrived the week before. It belongs to Weybridge Technical College. It was destined to live in the Strat Chamber but there's so much poop in there.. it was never gonna fit as there's nowhere to put the poop (it's not all poop but surely, 3 Concorde galleys aren't much use to anyone but the 1-11 and TCA Vanguard trainers definately ARE) :o

The intention is for them to get it running though how the heck they're gonna achieve that without fire cover I really don't know :roll:

No mate.. doesn't fit well at all.

Like seeing a t*t on the Popes forehead or.. as I say in the pub when some undesirables turn up.. they make the place look untidy :worried: Hope it get's moved soon.. to Somerset or Carlisle :lol:
