Mildenhall & Fairford (Another One)
Afternoon Guys
Spent a great weekend up at Mildenhall a couple of weeks ago. Good to be back up there camping with the crew and meeting up with the others that weren't (Paddy). Good to catch up with Tony on the Friday as well. A big thanks as always to John for putting us up (and putting up with us) at The Nook!

I see 1080 has had a nose-change since the pictures taken on the 23rd.
