beefsteak wrote:Hi Dave, 'twas I that took the photos of you, and I'd like to say a big thankyou for the clue that the F-15 Eagles were coming as I saw you raise your flag and camera gear and took the hint to put my brew down and get ready !!
You also had quite an audience of the Cafe staff and other customers too, they never knew when anything was coming so I told them to use the 'blokes on the corner' as a 'barometer'
Nice one mate,the flag only comes up the hill if theyre meant to be coming and then I only put it up once they`ve stated their intentions in the Lichfield Corridor,Its a bit of a big flag and I don`t want the RAF to think there`s some favouritism going on.
If it`s ok with you I`d quite like the pic,let me know its ok to take it mate.
Cheers Dave

It's taken from the B1192 where the camera symbol is at the 25 threshold on this map (far right on map, looking West) :- http://www.pb-photos.com/Images/Aviatio ... ingsby.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Hope that helps. :)
Ah, got it now, thanks for the info' Mike.
If you can keep your head whilst all around are losing theirs, you have probably completely misread the situation!!

By the way Craig, thanks for getting my good side!,

I would love to know how Paddy managed to balance that brown thing on the end of the red tape for so long on his head :lol: :lol:
