Captain Scarlet is indestructable, you are not! Remember this, do not try to imitate him.

Great log from a great afternoon/evening. Good amount of flying and good company. Was nice to see you again after such a long time. Hopefully see you again soon 👍

Yes mate, good afternoon and banter. I've posted some photos on Facebook! :lol:

Hopefully meet up a bit sooner next time, maybe join us at coningsby for night flying with a curry thrown in. :thumb:

Rich,
The first Finn to depart was HN-452. I’m struggling with the others I’m afraid

Thank you, I had the same issue looking through my photos but at least the polish F-16s were readable (just a pity I forgot the callsign they were using!) :lol:
