Love the shot of Paddy, you are a great sport :thumb:
But of course nobody actually took a picture - right? this aircraft does not have a 'D' on the fin therefore it was out of bounds!

Man - I look like a monk! What is this grey round the sides and dark on top lark! - the skunk look?

Keep them coming - I am sure there are more - Mark has some corkers!

Cheers

They can get away with that one Darren. It's the new 100ARW bird so the 'D' just isn't there ... Yet :P

And at least you got some hair on the top!!! Quit whinging :D

Hi J&T :P

It had to be removed, or Amy, our great niece, would not give Uncle Patrick a 6th birthday kiss, 'cos of 'that furry thing under your nose' :lol:

That's me put in my place by yet another woman :whistle:

Best regards and love to Terri.x :thumbs:

It was an awesome day, and great to meet good aviation friends yet again :thumbs:

Special thanks to Darren, despite that 'Postman Pat' shot :Wow:

Paddyboy :clap:

Hi Paddy

Not everyone on the trailer went inside!

I'm in the pic (4th from the right, blue and white footy shirt on), and I was in the field all day :P :P

Hope you all had a great day behind the wire


Roger
Don't feel left out Roger, you were photographed from the inside looking out instead :lol:
