Hi Dean,

Thanks for comments, – I was along towards the end of the in use runway with the gorgeous backdrop of the s. farm and recycling plant – not far away from you I suspect – glad you saw the Tiffy do a vertical depart – being 3 squadron as opposed to the 29 display team they are not normally priveleged to use burners at Coningsby – my horizontal departure (by car) was earlier with Waddington early morning start for 8 squadron day. I know of folks in my neck of the woods who travelled some distance to Waddo for the Thursday night departure(cancelled) of 558 and again on the following scrubbed Friday night.

Cheers

Ian
