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!

A few from the weekend

The following Wednesday I made a dash for Fairford for the 2 returning U-2s in the sunshine. Supposed to meet up with Will (24) but he was too busy taking photographs of Penguins at Cotswold Wildlife Park! :whistle: :lol:

I've got to be honest, the first shot is very impressive.
A really good set.

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