Looked pretty grim weather wise, thanks for taking the time to post after braving those conditions.
Cheers.

Thanks for taking the time to comment! Photographs are wet and heavily pixelated so more just a record of them arriving, but thankfully the camera gear survived!

Well done braving the weather Luke. The only criticism is the watermark is over the aircraft itself. However, I think I get the point of why you did it that way, in case the 'minesweepers' came along.

It was peeing it down to be fair so not sure they could have kept them dry

[John flightpath]

I was referring to his watermark signature on the photo, not the fact that it was peeing down lol. Its Friday, we'll let you off lol.

It was said as a joke mate, I knew what you were referring to was just being silly, sorry
As I said before well done for braving the elements and sharing with us all, gutted I live too far away to be able to fit in a visit whilst they are here haven't seen one fly for around 10 years.
