I am not even sure which day it will arrive as it has to fit in with the busy schedule of the pilot.

Hope the clouds stay away on Thursday. Rather nice looking full moon climbing above the horizon at the moment, assuming it'll be in the right place, like behind the line up.

Looking out my front window in South Ruislip the moons in the SE at the moment....looking at google maps it may be visible above the lineup to the right.
Cheers,

Second that Brian. That's one of the reasons I was hoping for the Dominies, this will do very nicely though, only ever seen the silver and orange one
It's all sounding very good Phil, well done
