Dick,
As you know I'm away at a wedding in the States. I have just checked the weather forecast for tomorrow and it looks perfect. I am very jealous - have a great day everyone!

Looks like the weather is going to play ball once the fog clears and allow me to make the long trip south at last.
Bringing ye olde faithful Bobcat with Weatronic 2.4 and Merlin 90 kero start. Just need a spotter, should be plenty available judging by the numbers.

Dick ;-) told you I'd had a word, seems I've been good this year and everytime I demand he listens...
Loaded, only four on board CARF Hawk, Graupner Inspiration, BVM Bandit ARF and Fast Spark, oh and a Squall 3s for afters. Several toys being brought along for me to enjoy, BVM Rafale with two P160's :-)), the AW Panther and GJC L-39, plus who knows what else.
Loaded with early Xmas presents! Four turbines for lucky people and two for the undecided. Bottle of something special for Dick ;-) plus a selection of parts.
Mcds in the morning as usual, cannot wait :-)

I'll be there with an F-86 powered by one of John Wright's new Sprite engines. Also bringing my Bobcat just to show Rob R and Duncan that they do fly well
.
There a few of us meeting at the first Little Chef as you come off the M40 on to the A34 at 7.30 sharp if any of you fancy it.

Once the fog lifted it turned into quite a nice if a little cold day. One of the many highlights for me is John Wright's little Sprite engine being flown by Jason in his £90 F86 Sabre, well done John and Jason.
More pics later, need to fly now.

Many thanks to Dick and all other helpers for yet another super smooth event. Other toys of note....poor man's Bandit, the Graupner Inspiration, seems like no sacrifice in quality...mmmm....Inspiration + Rabbit/Merlin 90 = Rocket Ship 
Also Mark H's F14.....a whole lotta model, Ali's big Hunter and Geoff's "Hack Duck Billed Plattypuss".
Thanks also to Ian W. for spotting for me and Jason for the loan of the allen key (left my tools at home....drrrr).
