Hi Mark,

If I see you I'll say hello. Used to visit Barrow a lot when young, my dad (originally from Millom) had relatives who worked in the shipyards for Vickers.

Very much looking forward to tomorrow, and meeting as many of you all as possible!

Please come and say hi if you see me - I'll be the confused looking young guy, glasses, big camera rucksack, and a 7D, wondering where the sun has gone! :lol:

I'm generously proportioned and balding, I'll be wearing a Legendary Shack Shakers T shirt, say hello. See you all tomorrow.

Oh, and I was going to suggest trying to sort out an FC meetup, but given we can't have phones turned on, and I have no idea of the layout of the event (so can't say "lets all meet by XXX at 11:00AM"), it probably wouldn't work out!

Sparts - a T-Shirt? In England? In June? Brave man....

Do what me and my Dad used to do Ben, pre mobile phones, arrange to meet at the largest aircraft (for airshows) or the closest aircraft to the BBMF Hangar (a good reference point for tomorrow). :)

Had a great day such a shame the heavens opened at the end. Also the sea fury had a taxi incident when it ran into some steps. Think it made a small dent and chipped the paint on the wing. :thumbs:
