EDIT: Also, keep an eye out in the outside grounds, there's a couple of MTBs about that I'm sure a wee doggy would want a few pics of

Rgr that Jamie...would have been great to have met you

Hey Jim, I might be up for Hendon - if my presence is wanted, and if you give me enough advanced warning

Thinking about it Id love to go to hendon again, not been since I was a nipper (about 12 I think)

I wonder if they still have that colour blind tour guide in the BOB Hanger?

Will do my best matey but I'm no professional photographer

Nor am I.

One thing I noticed jim in the few pictures it dose look better lit. As I recall there was two hangers, one was a BoB hanger and the other a mixture of WW1 to present day.

Of course it will be different now.

Probably...people on a couple of other forums were saying the same about my pictures from the visit to Duxford.

If you hug the coast all the way you could meet me and Jamie, alas it's not practical to get from oop north to the smoke.

Come on down ya soft bugga...the more the merrier.

It now looks like you'd get to meet two of the Grey Wolves.....a memory that may well haunt you to the end of your days
