Well here are a few of the happy snaps from the SimV (UK) AGM at RAF Hendon on the 29th of December....
The management (from left to right), Doug, Chris (he isn't a dwarf just sitting down!) and Tony.

For my American friends Wink

On the ground, safest with proper planes around (sorry Björn) Grin

Especially for Doug Wink

The Wooden Wonder 8)

What our Hagar learnt to fly on 8) and one of my favourite biplanes

A dodgy looking duo in there (after Doug had wrecked the barrier!)... so what plane is it?

And no we couldn't find Sir Douglas Baders legs... Grin

More in part II (when I've picked out some suitable shots)

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

Very nice shots Mark - except the ones with me in them. Is that what I really look like? Don't answer that. Roll Eyes

Well worth the wait. That's a fine little camera you have there. I'm glad I didn't post any of mine now. Wink

PS. I think you're getting confused with the aircraft in the last shot.

Nice shots! Cheesy

It´s been far too long since I visited Hendon, but if I remember correctly there was a Short Sunderland on display there, so could it the plane in picture #7, with the two gentlemen standing inside it?

A prize?! Thanks Ozzy, but I´m quite satisfied just to find out that my memory still works at my age (I´m 46 if anybody cares to know).

Ps. But if you insist, I wouldn´t mind a free trip to Hendon - with a ticket to Highbury included! Wink
