Re: F-35 coming to RIAT / Farnborough

As for the general public, Rein says, “We hope they understand that this is a development programme. Have no doubt, the F-35 will fly in the UK one day,” Rein adds.

Re: A5 Pass - My 6 year olds first outing with Camera - HIS

My 8yr Son has a real aptitude for the camera as well.

Trouble is whenever we go off for a trip I end up without the camera.

May look at a cheap 2nd hand outfit for his birthday.
