Mags ......

Oberon spent ages with a mop and bucket removing the tears from the floor after last week.

Thanks MR. Here's to the continuing success of the tours.

Thanks Mack - great pics.

Is there any angle that 558 has NOT had her picture taken from - in the last 2 years? Astounding where a camera lens has found itself...

Over the last 17yrs... you'd be surprised where I've stuck an SLR/Video/DVD camera in that aircraft... but Olympus has been further

As a matter of interest do the visitors pay up front or on the day? - with places limited it would be a shame to lose income because of no shows

[Gully]

Do I spy new wing-tip strobe lights in those photos, MR?

No just the standard Navigation lights.

Seats have to be booked for in advance via the email or phone number in the first post on this thread. We do not charge for the visit but if anyone wants to leave a donation then they can.

[Mayfly]

oh ok ta

[Gully]

Thanks, MR. Heard a rumour from an attendee at Taff's most recent talk that strobes may be fitted at some stage in the future and wondered if you chaps were on to it yet. Mind you, I dread to think of the design authority paperwork involved - probably take longer and cost more than the physical mod!

[Mackrick]

Its on the wish list Gully...

[Dan4th]

I just do not see how ANYONE
could POSSIBLY be a No-Show
for something so special.

SIX?

I think they need to be hunted
down and Chastized!

REALLY!!!!!!!!

Danf.

Glad the tours went well again today rick

[Ducati Boy]

I hope the no shows have the decency to apologise, explain and never complain about access again , thats six folk who missed out in their places

[Jigsaw]

The no shows are very dissappointing indeed.
There are far more than 6 others out there that would love to have taken the seats

Still. Thanks for the pics again. Long may it continue.

[Mayfly]

To be fair there could be a number of reasons for the no shows but like you DB I would like to think they would let Toni know the reasons. It would be interesting to know if they were all the same party or individuals.

Im sure theres a good reason, who would want to miss out on a look round 558!!

[Mackrick]

I am not making excuses for anyone but it was touch and go if today was going ahead. The extra trip we did this week (3 instead of 2) plus the late notice meant that emails went out to visitors later than the previous week.

We do ask that people are at the pickup point early so as not to delay each party. This has so far worked a treat. I must say a big thank you to Andy and his clipboard for being at the pickup point all day, checking peoples details off as they arrive. It has made my job so much easier knowing all I have to do is check the photo ID's and then do the driving.

Well 2 more Sundays to go till our first funding deadline. Fingers crossed if we make it then the trips will continue. If you want to visit then please email or make that phone call.
