    I'm just popping down to Fast Lane in Tonbridge, so hopefully I can get to Wesson's to meet you all.

    I did enjoy the planes, glad we stayed to watch the Lancasters. Thank you for fixing my visor Tom, it works perfectly again. :thumbsup:

    The Lancs were berthed at Biggin Hill for a couple of days and flew right over my house about 4 times, fantastic.
    Particularly poignant for my wife and I as her Dad flew two tours of duty in them in WWII. And survived!

    Watched them leave Biggin Hill - amazing to see and hear two flying together - they are located there I think along with the Red Arrows and the Typhoon.

    Carried on down to Eastbourne - beautiful day and nice to get out on the unsold bike :giggle:

    Wouldn't have liked to have gone there by car.

    Last day tomorrow - well worth the trip - and its free.

    Me and the Mrs went down to Eastbourne today, particularly to see the Lancasters and they were a no show as it was too windy and wet for take off at Biggin Hill. :( How my father-in-law would have laughed at that, "we're not going to send you on ops to get shot at tonight chaps as it's too dangerous to take off in this weather". :laugh:

    The Red Arrows were stunning though, such skill, such speed, so close, so low. Wow. Really good view from the beach.
