I'm hoping to be at Coningsby \:D/ , last year we parked on the road that runs along the base and parallel to New York Road, and they spent most of their display above us :)) :D (but shhhh don't tell anyone ;) :)) ) which was brilliant as we're normally in the car park (never managed to get to the mound, it's always been full) and they don't tend to spend much of their display over there, so depending how I feel (I have to take it day to day at the moment) and how busy it is, I should be on that road :D.

Thank you ma'am :)

My old Olympus was stolen at Butlins last year.
My insurance company very nicely replaced it with a Nikon D90 (the day before Waddington thankfully).

I'm still learning how to use it =))

Hope the displays go well. Sorry I cannot get to see them as I am on a course on Thursdays, and also I would be heading back home at around that time. Will have to make do with photos/videos of the event.

Cranwell now appears to be down for a lunchtime show rather than later in the afternoon.

No I'm a bit busy at the moment I have some artwork for Metheringham museum backing - we are revamping some of the displays and my mum has been to hospital 4 times in the last 7 days, She has a serious infection in her right eye and lost her sight, they hope it's only until it's cleared up but its keeping me busy!!!

The display at Valley today and Lossie tomorrow has been cancelled due to a forecast of high winds.
