Another Day in Paradise !

Post by Rhubarb » Thu Sep 01, 2022 9:07 pm

Got to Scampton around 10:00 ish. The reds were out, only seven I think due to the naughty boy's "enough said". Viewing area closed again so joined a guy at the crash gate,"both parked off the road" as good spotters should ! He was on a morning pass and was hoping for a full practice display before the .Bournmouth show take off at 13:30 bst. No joy there though but had good couple of hours of aviation chat interlaced with coffee and sandwiches. We both left around 12:00 best. Myself to Waddo and he was to be his son's caddie for the afternoon. I zipped down the super Lincoln bi-pass and ooh, about four or five loverly Luftwaffa Tornado's opposite the wave ! See the underline boys for the serials please. Told about four or five Italianardo Typhoon's at the far end. Informed the bissies had closed the road down there to spoil or fun :grr: Had lots of good anorak chats in the wave, which have installed four chemical toilets for the flood of tank gun camer's men and ladies on next week's exercise. Burn't my face yet again ! 15:30 the Italian siesta was over. Roma 11&12 taxed and took off over the wave."It cuda been'a Franki Detroit in'a 11 with'a Desouza in'a 12 :roll: :roll: 13 & 14 followed at 15:40. None lit their burners. All returned about an hour fifteen later to all land on the PAR successfully to a full stop. Had they been sent on mission deliverroo one wonders ;) 10 Picas in 11&12 with 10 lasaniers in13&14 :D Joking appart, thank you our Italian fiends for the action, and thank you for buying British from BA Systems :clap: . Home to fried chicken curry sauce and chips, mmmmmm !!
"A Rhubarb" is a sortie of opportunity !
