Some photos I found on my camera:

Anson

Vulcan (without all those annoying people blocking the view)

Buccaneer

Harrier

We did get to see bits of Concorde! The tailcone, thrust reversers and one Olympus were lying next to these intakes.

And Dodrums caught in the act! 😀

😀 😀

That’s what I meant!

You’ll get pretty close if you pronounce it like yella. It’s one of those names that doesn’t translate very well!

I’m sure we’ll get it sorted by the end of the day on saturday!

See you guys then! (Have found blue Spitfire cap to wear so Daz and Ian will have something to look for)

Yes, that shouldn’t be a problem. Sounds like a plan to me! I’ll be there at 9:30 looking out for a blue Fiat. I’ve got Daz’s number so I’ll give him a call tomorrow to see if anything has changed. If not I’ll see you guys Saturday morning!

Thanks!

It’s probably best (especially when on steam-driven connection) to right-click the link and select ‘save as…’. Then wait for download to finish (get extra pair of socks) and enjoy.

Sounds like a plan. Send the man an e-mail!!! (Mr. Patterson is in a different time zone though, may have to wait until he wakes up before we get an answer from him 😉 )

Hotel a few miles west of the castle. If you can give me some progressive taxi instructions to the Bridges, I’m sure that would work! Will have to ask Ian about the second part of that plan though!

If either of you has server space, then just FTP them over to that space, and place a link here such as http://www.freeserver.org/srpattersonsplace/vp441video.avi

(I just made that up, so dont go clicking on it everyone!!!)

Well, as luck would have it I’ll be in Edinburgh this coming weekend, and visiting East Fortune is on my ‘to-do’ list. I was going to try to find out how to get to the museum (haven’t got a car with me). And then I stumbled across this posting here…..

I’ll need to convince my girlfriend that it will be really necessary for me to spend the saturday somewhere around airplanes though. It’s a weekend trip with her parents celebrating their 35th marriage anniversary, and I think she has agreed to accompany me to EF, but that was before I found out about you lot going there too. The thing is that talking airplanes and aviation history may not be her idea of a day out. She could of course accompany her parents but I think part of the reason for going to EF with me was escaping them for a bit too! She’ll survive a day at an aviation museum with me (she’s done that before) but if there are plenty of other enthusiasts about I may get in trouble as I’ll have to divide my attention then! 😀

Anyway, will gently pitch the idea to her, and who knows! Is anybody going from Edinburgh by any chance with a few spare seats in the car?
