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,
Brian

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. I was advised (by Wendy, yesterday) that this year there was an exceptional amount of specific seating requests, and to accommodate the specific request took precedent over the row, hence we got bounced down a row. Still got the aisle...

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
Brian
