B b b b bad to the Bone

Post by nick197 » Sat Feb 15, 2014 4:29 pm

Well last Thursday was a cracking day, Highlight of the day was the B1-B Departure. It was also good to meet jaguar106 and cookyboy :thumb:. Only down side was my Mum couldn't come along to see the B1. Here's some pictures from the day :thumb: :
1. Pretty dull start, Which was a shame really as there was a fair few movements.
