Re: Prestwick 04/05/19

Cheers Dougie, not that much of a trip, just Glasgow. Everone I spoke to yesterday travelled much further, Aberdeen, Lossie etc.
Should appreciate having this relatively local more often....if only I can convince my wife and daughters(won't hold me breath on that one!)

Re: Prestwick RCH784&RCH450 4/5/19

And very nice they are too!, these must have been after I'd left.

Any idea if the KC-10's arrived? I've not heard seen anything?

Cheers,

Prestwick 04/05/19

Heard there were a few heavies departing Prestwick this morning so took a wee trip down. Great morning, freezing breeze. I missed some of the very early C-17 departures, but still very worthwhile. In order taken, comments and critique welcome..... https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/32830286047_402f...

Re: #GetTonyAFlypast

What a tribute, not only to the brave airmen, but to Tony for his dedication. One of the most moving TV moments for quite some time, could bring a tear to a glass eye as they say!.

Even more extraordinary the British weather played fair, wonders will never cease.

Just recived an email advising £600 cashback off the EF100-400 mk 11. This is an instant discount if ordered directly from the Canon store.

Wish I was looking for one, very attractive pricing now.

Sorry, but Scampton is not "North" in UK terms. I stuggle to even place it as central, but maybe....just.

No issues at all with shuttle bus/FRIAT combo. As far as the bus company is concerned it's just another form of admission ticket.

I don't think any of the BBMF made an appearance over the weekend. I was there on Sunday, and never saw them unless they displayed while we were having some lunch.

Mach 3 again , this year G102 and 103, a row down from last year.

Re: Canadians through Pik last Couple of Months

It's the CC-17 that did it for me, close though as they are all really nice images.

Last time I was there was when the Polaris and the CF-18's left which seems like ages ago,I must get back soon.

Cheers
