I feel sorry for you guys down there waiting, that's why I didn't have a trip down its been a bit of a farce from the start and nothing really carved in stone, at least you should have some moonlight on your side I wonder what the pilots will think to all those flash guns going off. enjoy it guys I look forward to seeing all your pics on here soon.
no offence meant to anyone

regards
