Cold Coningsby 11.3.13

Post by flyingslug_0 » Fri Mar 15, 2013 4:57 am

Hi all, The Captain and I went to fighter town to see what we could see. The day was busy, with a strange visitor, even when Milky told me what it was I still couldn't make it out :'( We went to the mound but the wind was so strong it must have been about 30knts. We also had some snow showers that came out of no where, then brilliant sunshine. A very enjoyable day with great aircraft but challenging light and conditions.

Captain Scarlet is indestructable, you are not! Remember this, do not try to imitate him.

Like the processing you've done on the Tonka shots Craig - spot on :clap: .

Certainly a varied week weatherwise - I'm waiting for a slight rise in temperature for a first trip out this year :blush:

Cheers Paul.
