Hello fellow FC'ers. I recently experienced a great day at Mildenhall (on the other side of the fence ) & I wanted to share some of the places we visited with you.
It was brilliant to see behind the scenes and how some of the operations work & it was great to meet some fellow FC'ers :
I know there are quite a few shots here (hope you don't get bored) but I know not everyone has had the opportunity to view inside the HALL.
Thanks to Charlie (C24) for arranging the day & thank you to all the staff involved & for giving up their time to show us around
Further photos can be seen on my Flickr page http://www.flickr.com/photos/martin_a/ enjoy

Hi Martin,
Great set of pictures to remember a great day, lets hope we can all do it again soon.
Thanks to charlie1 and all the team at Mildenhall for making it a day to remember.

Nicely put together set - love the cockpit dial shots.

Hi Martin

Great pics, great memories, great company and a great day

All that was missing was great weather

The Osprey made up for it though

Best regards

Patrick (Paddyboy)
