Oh is it Christmas ?? He flew right past my bed , dropped pressies (Over five hundred quids worth ) for SWMBO and the kids, and left me two pairs of socks and a Peter Kay DVD !!!

Now SWMBO is at work and I'm cooking Christmas dinner to be eaten at about 5.00pm!!

Christmas??................... Bah Humbug!!!

Mind you , she is letting me have a week away in March for some aviation related matters, plus loads of other displays and trips to Lincolnshire AND she did let me go to Cosford , Waddo, Riat , Southport , Hawarden, Duxford Autumn show,3 days at Lakenheath, Mildenhall ,and Marham, 5 trips to 'Bomber county' this year so I suppose I did get some aviation related stuff after all !!!!

I got a glass paperweight with the station crest of RAF Bruggen printed on it. Picked up in an antique shop and presumably used on base when it was still active.
