That reminds me, I must arrange the boys weekend away - twice a year the around 4 or 5 of my old work colleagues go over to France/Belgium for a weekend of beer, beer, beeer, and beer. And there is always a thing of how cheaply we can get and stay there for. I'm going to have to try really hard to get a worse hotel than the last fleapit....

They came in to land directly over our tent (the runway lights were about 30m away!) so some fantatis sights and sounds!

for a while :) .. we wandered the line as you do, got down to 558 to take a few piccies and I thought ... looks like they are crewing in .. so we hung about a while and had a perfect view of the startup /taxi out ... :)
Not planned but worked out well .. :)

I was stationed between the Jubilee Garden and the FRIAT grandstand all day, dead on crowd centre so got a good view of most displays :y
I'll have to sort out my pics, get them on Flikr or Photobucket and post a link to the album because there's far to many to put up here ::)
