wooks wike a wellick to me!

Well – If I’m still here (which I expect I will be) – Plymouth, Culdrose, St Mawgan and hopefully Yeovilton and will beg borrow or steal to get to Kemble.

No car at the moment.

St Mawgan is interesting on 31st August. My understanding is that St. Mawgan is closing this year!!!

It’s a families day – so I guess watching from a vantage point is going to be the best bet?

I’d make sure there were enough portapottys. Nothing is more important to the (perceved) success of an airshow by the punter – You might avoid going all day, but for mum, dad & the kids, it’s vital.

That, and actually being able to get in without having to join a 3+ hour queue (ie NOT Cosford 2004).

Summers always seem to have been sunny and long when we were children – not pouring with rain as my parents point out (although their childhood summers were always sunny as well…).

Funny that – I always hated the weather in Wolverhampton when I was a child. I remember the odd sunny days, but I remember being cold, wet and miserable much more frequently! Seems actually a bit nicer weather wise these days (but I’m still miserable).

What? It’s avaition related.

The best way is to “upload” your pictures, makes it faster for dial-up users.

You’ll need to ensure your pictures are only about 70kbs, and I would recommend no larger than 800 pixels wide. You can compress and resize your pictures using almost any image editing tool – such as Paintshop Pro, or Photoshop (be sure to save the edited image under a new filename, so as not to damage the original) – and I think there is an image editor with the Windows “Plus!” pack.

Create your post in “Advanced Mode”, so that you have access to all the tools. All you need to do then is use the “Manage Attachments” button – you’ll find it below the “Submit” button, underneath the Post Icons. You can upload 10 images this way.

Alternatively, you can use the Insert Image button (a picture of a hill with a sun in the top right hand corner) to put the image full size into the post. You need to have the image hosted in some webspace somewhere and insert the URL into the pop-up box that appears when you press the button:

The best way to show video clips is to host the clip on some webspace, and use the “Insert Hyperlink” button (World with a chain link below).

And a couple of “uploaded” attachment images (click on them to see them full size).

I actually lived next to Plymouth’s Royal William Yard while this film was being shot, and I took some photos.

It was an okay film, I naturally went to see it as soon as it came out.
