Thanks for this.
Are you coming quietly or will I need the earplugs?

Haven't seen any photos of the beast actually flying yet? But my goodness what a machine! :king:

Thanks for the link, fantastic shots of a machine that's almost 50 years old - plenty of good stuff in the other photo threads too. :smile:

Not been along to catch this? Surly closer to you than me!

I was living in hope that i would get a secondment to support this, but alas it was not to be! I did take a run up but my timing was pants!

The run back to Dundee in the Mondeo via the A93 was sublime though!

52 in a year! We must be certifiable!

"Surly" - no, not at all. This is just one of those things that happens (about 65 miles away from where I live) when I can't get any time off work to go and see it. I've seen many of these magnificient beasts in the US in the past, so I'm not annoyed at all.

Nice shot, Geoff. :up:
