    Yep, thanks, was great fun. Loved your pressie DB. Also loved the ‘James McCormick Challenge Trophy for doing something stupidly funny’. Hope my name never gets on it. Bet yours does in 2006 though!
    Thought the meal they put on was terrific, noticed SC had double everything!

    What?? Including marriages??

    Grub and video show were the best bits, good to see you guys.
    Bl**dy good fun..

    Don’t know what all the fuss is about DB, you manage to drive to Norwich from Duxford in an hour yet, if I recall correctly, you were 45 minutes late flying 30 miles from Monewden to RV for onwards to Rougham in the S’man last season. No camera crews involved. Answer that one matey!

    Ha Ha!! Was doing my hair and my nails…. NOT!!! (haven’t got much of either!!)
    Excellent pics as a result tho..

    Agreed Mr Mog – unless of course they had camera cars strategically placed at two or three spots en route thro France which were able to rendez vous with said super car as it drove northwards..

    Yeah, sorry peeps — Just really annoys me when people belittle light aircraft, especially on a public stage. We have enough trouble promoting what we love without having the likes of Top Gear stirring it up,

    I appreciate it was all in the name of entertainment etc, I’ll get off my soap box now…

    Can’t remember my first airline flight, but my first toy plane flight was when I was 13 in G-AVUS. A cherokee 140 from Glasgow.

    Saw G-AVUS at Norwich last weekend..

    My first flight was Qantas 747-200 to Sydney, Dec 1979 when I was 15, I went on my own, was sh***ing myself travelling so far..
