Thanks for posting those - not seen them for a while!

Lovely footage of a Javelin in the middle of the second clip :D - all too rare... :(

Ian, I wish you'd stop posting that pic. There's something disturbing about it. ;) :D

I was merely illustrating the fact that when I last saw 537 was before she lost weight :p

I can't help it that the only picture I have of her is that one ;)

Besides, I've not posted it for a while :))
