Hi Jack are you ok regards stewart ps thinking of you and your wife

Thanks Stewart, we're ok, the stores sold out of everything yesterday, it was madness.  People have a siege mentality now and it's not even here till Monday.  I'm hoping it'll be a CAT 1 or less by the time it gets here but these things spawn tornados.

OMG Martyn, you tech us a lot - too much for the weekend.

I still miss the inverted move, a touch of yellow might not be enough to satisfy all forum members ;)...

Thanks Gerold, I will have to experiment next flight, gotta keep the customer satisfied.

Unbelievable Martyn!  The scenery looks perfect and your tour was informative and interesting.  I'm going to keep these with the coords so I can visit when I get a chance.  Thanks!

Good to hear that Jack, I will try and remember to keep the co-ords just in case people want to visit the places I have been.

Avebury Megaliths are well worth the visit, but park in the pub unless you want a long work from the nearest car park :)

The walk would be better for me Taph but there again if the pub is worth visiting I may park there instead.
