I'm also trying to organise a bit more in my life, put a few more things in, as with the pending loss of living in Wales, I've been feeling quite lost, unsure of the future now it's all changed. Thought I had everything worked out.

So Festival of speed Friday, will be booking another trip to Belgium and planning some other stuff... whilst thinking a little more long term
Sounds like you're doing it the right way Byker, happiness is a verb, they say, rather than a noun - doing stuff is often the answer, if only we could figure out what the question is!
Surely thats a cigar, a mild cigar from Bensen and Hedges.
It was the greatest thing that Ken Dodd possessed. smile

The summer here oop norf continues unabated, alternating between trenchul and dismal drizzle.

I have been conducting further research into the F20/B47 hybrid :



The burning question is:
Will it fit on my drive? scratchchin

Yep, that's the place!

It'll be my first RIAT, so I'm quite excited. smile
I've attended a few times many years ago when it was always beautiful sunny weather ( before Global Warming set in ) and the competing air forces from around the globe always put on a jolly good crowd-pleasing show, all trying to out-do each other.

As well as ear defenders, I suggest you take plenty of water because when/if the sun shines, it can get pretty hot. If that should happen, remember that brollies can also double as parasols.

Have fun. thumbup

Hi paua.wavey

I think he may have been pulling one of yer legs just a little bit, because the DH Tigermoth didn’t make its' maiden flight until 1931.

Perhaps he had been reading too many Biggles books*, and got carried away romancing his tall tales of derring-do to the young impressionable paua.

* One of my favourites was "Biggles Flies Undone" by Capt. W E Johns... wink

Having another day of rushing around and getting nowhere, got a major rework loop sorted out, but as some parts are carrying on and some parts are awaiting a concession it's made the process more difficult.

I have been pondering on towing the Vulcan back from Carlisle behind the TT. There may be a few obstacles to tackle along the way. It will fit in the back field but getting into the field is impossible without dismantling. She looked fab yesterday in the sunshine.
