Another visit to the Coop Live, this time to see Nine Inch Nails. Again up in the cheap seats so not the greatest photos. Our view spoilt a bit by a large hanging PA speaker but a great gig nonetheless with a lot of it from "B" stage in the middle. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54598...

A few from an excellent Saturday at Old Warden. The weather peaked right on time albeit with a bit of a breeze most of the day. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54622401105_abfe962298_o.jpg UKAR_D750_07_DSC_3473 by Derek N.Ferguson , on Flickr https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54622293599_a1513...

From the Red Arrows onwards, I thought it was absolutely sensational today. Perhaps the best OW show I’ve been to, certainly the best since before covid. The warbird finale was the sort of thing i could watch all day long. Absolutely spot on. A great display despite all that the weather and technic...

I think there are other more sensitive platforms operating in the area - and have been for some time. Exactly what they are monitoring who knows though.

We certainly should not be getting involved in this one though.

The Israelis aren't bombing unarmed civilians now. They're bombing a country that is well within its right to fight back.

Just back from an enjoyable day out. I can only reiterate what others have said. I didn't pay much attention to what was coming, preferring to try make it like it used to be. A surprise.

South Wales Aviation Museum are fund-raising to move BAe146 ZE700 to the museum from it's current location. It can't be towed as there are now too many obstacles so it will have to be lifted.

I use Wunderground, Avia weather, Accuweather Meteogram and pick the forecast I like best. Why bother!? I'm sure amongst that lot you probably get everything covered, you might as well just go out and look at none of them. I was joking - probably. Being prepared for eventuality is important. The di...

Last night we paid a visit to the Co-op Live to see Bruce Springsteen. What a great gig. Just short of three hours long, full of emotion, passion and of course politics. If I'm even half as fit as he is at 75 then I'll be doing OK. We had the cheap seats but still a great view and superb sound quali...

The short carburrettor intake was the configuration for early Mk.IXs and most were modified to take the longer intake later on.
