Tiny Mini MAN Meet 1 8 06

Hi All,

Yesterday we had what turned out to be a very small meet under the cold, grey clouds at MAN. Myself, Grey Area, Wannabe Pilot and Jonezi 06 turned up and that was about it!

Anyway, despite the weather and poor turn out we had a fun day. Here are a few random shots:

Great photos! Especially the VS747 and the AF A320. I think I’ve been on that one a few years ago.

Well, after embarassing me with those terrible shots, I was considering not leaving you a comment!

But well done, you pulled out some good ‘uns considering the weather. The Swiss Star Alliance is growing on me…

Random photo time…

Dan, having flown in from his homeland down below Watford was finding the cold of the Northern counties a little too much, and thus spent the vast majority of the day hiding inside his hoodie, only to re-emerge like a nervous tortoise tentatively testing the air on hearing a plane of some kind

Meanwhile, Lance proves his size by dwarfing Concorde, and we realise that Danny appears to be sprouting an MD-80…

A little later, in a moment of sheer boredom, Mr Casey makes an amazing discovery. He finds a lens hood with an 86mm thread fits perfectly over the top of a plastic pint ‘glass’. A wonderful work of modern art I’m sure you’ll agree…

And finally, you’ve heard of Robot Wars? This is Bigma Wars! Dan points his Bigma at me, and I point my Bigma at him. I think it was pretty much a draw though…

And there we have it! Thanks for a fun day guys!

Paul
