Postby Mackrick » Sun Aug 23, 2009 8:53 pm

Ok all not sure if I have asked this before so here goes ...

Does anyone have any photo requests of 558 on the ground / Engineering style photos.
I am not promising anything but time permitting I will see what I can do.

Awww that's cruel :))

Bet Taff would be there in a minute, albeit in a wheelchair - but he'd be bringing all the nurses along too!

Mags, I smell an image of Taff in his Wheel chair with an Olympus nailed to it coming along...............
(Nothing like kicking someone when they're down is there).

You could then auction it. (Well 558 might as well make a few quid out of Taff's misfortune eh, what??)

DRAGGING THE THREAD BACK ON TOPIC

This could rapidly turn into 'Challenge Mackrick' What's the most obscure and inaccessible part of 558 that can be photographed WITHOUT resorting to non-NDT to obtain it.

Go to it Forumeers................................ :D :D :D :D
