My 3 wishes at Coningsby 16 10 12

Post by mark17 » Thu Oct 18, 2012 6:39 pm

Hi all,
Me and dad went to Coningsby on Tuesday,on the way down from Manchester i said to dad ,my 3 wishes for the day were,F15s the 3sqn special and the Olympic Tonka i got all 3 :clap:
It must have been borderline cancelling flying with the strong wind at times.
My old faithful laptop has gone tech :grr: ,so these have been edited on my main computer hope they are ok.The only editing program i have on it is Irfanview,so they have been sharpened and reduced thats all :unsure:

BZ with mission marks and plenty of them!

And Mark, maybe a fourth wish come true.

Think it might have been you who, in your excitement a couple of years ago, left your steps behind.

If so, message me when you're coming again on a Tuesday, and I'll gladly bring them back from their safe storage.

Hi Honest Ted,
Yes that was me who left the steps!
I nearly left them at the spot on the main road before I came back to the crash gate!
Funny enough I almost left my fishing box as well last Tuesday :blush:
Thank you so much for keeping them for me,my wife was chuffed when I told here they were her decorating steps!
I'm not sure when I will be down next,but hopefully it will be before Xmas.
Thanks again
Mark
