Yes trying to go again this year - hopefully weather will be as nice as last year...as it was cracking the flags...


Don't think we're having a flypast this year though, which is a real shame, especially as last year they did 2 runs down the track from Ramsbottom, which was very special...

You never know, I might catch up with you this year :)
 
Andy, PMd you.
Hope to see you all there, I will put my TP strap on for ID!

Not as good as last years Dave, down to the weather though. Dull from 10 till 12, then pittled down till 4-30. sun came out just as we were heading home!
Forecast better for Sum & Mon, so you should be ok. Cracking mock battle at Rammy in the afternoon!
Adie sends his regards, wanted to know if you were coming.
 
Hi Baz

Sorry not been in touch, didn't manage to get there today - crappy weather and Tonsillitis - not the best combination :(

Did you manage to get anywhere near the Spitfire ?

Might try for tomorrow...

Speak soon

Nope, no spitfire! photo opportunities were a bit strangled as everyone was trying to shelter from the rain, still, got a few keepers, will sort them and post some soon.
