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

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'

Is that an optical illusion, or am I seeing things, those lovely spotters seem to be the 'wrong side' of the fence....!
If you can keep your head whilst all around are losing theirs, you have probably completely misread the situation!!

They're outside of the fence at a 90 degree corner at the edge of the field. :)

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. :)
