07:18 Grim and deadly hold at asram for the exercise

Bolar negative contact with doctor, holding for 15 minutes

( Doctor has been heard on the command post Freq 379.80 - I remember hearing Dentist back in the day)

Grim 1 is the low (fuel) man and may simulate a diversion.

Any tie ups on the latest launch? Had at least 6 over Chippenham about 5 minutes ago.

Good idea - I will write off to the Man Utd training ground - they don't seem to be using theirs!

The noise is only for 48 hours. We all need to sleep but jet noise is the sound of freedom. :clap: :clap: :clap:

Still got my sticker somewhere- was going to put it near my Clan's exhaust, but that sounded more like a Pratt and Whitney Wasp! Anyway, the car's gone.

Was a fabulous noise overhead us here 3miles west of Yeovilton. A real shame it's so overcast.
