Dave

Have a round of applause for managing to get a bunch of Chipmunks together and create a fun day.

BobM was a hero. He called me at 8.30am to tell me he had a spare seat. Bob you know how to make your aeroplane sound sweet. However, despite your experience, I'm not so sure you have got the hang of the straight and level lark.

At one point he lost it altogether.

Image

Anyway, there was a lovely turnout ...

Image

Not forgetting the star of the show ...

Image

Even the Shackleton seemed to be laughing with joy ...

Image

David very kindly allowed us to mooch through its wonderful interior. Yes, that is a small boy and a headless father in the photo.

Image

However, on the way back, as you can see from this photo, Bob completely messed up the approach to his farm strip. I didn't complain.

Image

Thank you. :cheers: :clap:

You're most kind Janie, but you know I have difficulty remembering if its blue or green side up

Dave, Thanks for organising things and the excellent bacon roll 8)

And another thing ...

Kate's kitchen had the cutest, tamest robin (not Curtiss) I have ever seen bobbing around people's ankles as they dropped crumbs. If ever there was a reason to go back, it would be for both feathered and metal flying things.
