[Steven]

Hi all,

Spent a thoroughly enjoyable (but windy!) day down at the local today.

Steven, Rebel87 was carrying 5 PWs under the belly, first time I've seen that load-out on a GR4.

Captain, was Typhoon 40 on route to MAM to finish the day nicely for them ?

[macref]

Brilliant day. Nice to meet milky and as promised I'll start and post rather than just read! So many highlights, and definitely the right choice for wall to wall action!

And to the chap parked next to me, a pleasure to donate my eyes for the day!
