No need to be scared Geoff, just go upstairs, they’ll never be able to get you.

You seem to have forgotten that I live in a bungalow – no stairs 😮

BTW can you PM your mobile No for next Saturday.

Geoff.

Well at least I wont have to hide behind the sofa this time then. They scared the hell out of me, but I still had to watch.

My other favourites were the Cybermen, will they be in the new series?

Geoff.

Will the BBMF be releasing any singles from the forthcoming album?

I can just see the flight on ToTP!

Geoff.

Makes you wonder how good the rest of the info is?

I would view any of the potted aircraft histories in ‘STH’ as suspect until you’ve had the chance to compare it with the relevant Aircraft movement Card. A lot of entries have been edited out, such as when an aircraft returns to it’s previous unit after repair – so you can’t tell if it went back, or on to a new unit. Some of the squadron/unit numbers are wrong, mainly due to misreading the Movement Card, i.e. 137 Sqn has been put down rather than 131 Sqn. I just use the potted histories as a rough guide until the photocopy of the Movement Card comes through from Hendon. I’ve built up quite a collection of Movement Card photocopies, & not just Spits in this way.

Cheers Robbo, that’s much appreciated 🙂

I’m wondering if it’s worth going on the Sunday, just to see ‘Anna’ 😉

Geoff

I’m hoping to be there on the Saturday. Probably going by train to Whittlesford, unless anyone’s going on the Saturday via the Dartford River Crossing (bridge/tunnel) & can stop off here to give me a lift????

It will be interesting if we see Flood & Anna at the same time, or will Anna appear just as Flood’s disappeared 😉
