Re: Congestion on A15 and near miss Tuesday.

As a regular attender during CW this year a big issue has been motorists not respecting the modified speed limits.

Well I'm out on Wednesday. My mental health cannot take being cooped up any longer. A few photos of planes and wildlife will sort me out nicely.

Great set George. It was an awesome evening and brought back memories of the good old days. My two sons were awed by the sheer noise and power. They haven't stopped talking about it.

Re: Your first ever military spotting trip, where, when etc?
