So it appears (c'est une poire) that I am now back at work after a marvellous WE where it was great to see the old faces again (and the new ones too ).
I intended to entertain myself at work today by editing my pics but I forgot the foolish cable at home. Rhaaaaaaaaaa !
Many thanks to Daz for playing taxi and Alex for staying late, apologies to Lew for getting grass all over the inside of his car (wind was very strong in the overflow car park ) and thanks to all of you for a great time !
Hope I can attend next year's meet as it is turning into a classic

Think about the LOVELY football pins you were all wearing (well, most of you)
I have one with me at work now! (for the not attendees, WILCO had a bag full of LH's football pins. I've got only, what, 6 of them?) In his subtle *cough* German way he made us to wear them and now I'm petrified to take it off my backpack. WILCO visits BRU regularly... He might check up on the pins

Well guys and girls, I have arrived back home....at LAST!!!....
...a mere 14 hours late
My Air Southwest flight was diverted to Leeds, and then the crew went 'out of hours' at 7.45pm, so did not fly to MAN. Initially we were told that the flight was cancelled because MAN was still shut, laughably this was just as a 757 rotated behind the agent who was telling me this crap. Then there were no available seats until the following evening...untill somebody used their bluetooth to find flights still available to book on the website...so the story changed again and about 13 of the passengers including myself got re-booked onto the 08:25 flight. The rest were on a coach via Bristol. Rather pissed off to say the least!
Anyway, that aside thanks to everybody for a great meet, glad the weather just about held out. I'll try to get my pics sorted out asap, feeling a little tired though at the moment. Cheers to everybody for who gave me lifts around the place, it was very much appreciated
My mate who works at LBA handled the diverted MAN flight yesterday, was G-WOWC apparently. Unfortunate you got caught up in the storm yesterday. Atleast you got on a flight eventually and not a coach!

Looks like I missed a cracking weekend. I had planned to be there at least one day, but for reasons not to disimilar to Brads, my plans were 'altered' at the last minute!
Anyhow, I've got my flight booked for Farnborough, so no-one will be altering those plans.
