affirmative tony, a whole programme of events for 'armed forces day'

interesting info barmaid, my local paper said it was a spitfire - however a hurricane will be just as impressive

[Ann]

Think we will have more chance of seeing them here from 17.00 leaving Scampton and arriving at Brize Norton 17.39. We are 19 miles South of Nottingham. Apparently the Red Arrows were 12 mins late over Nottingham, my brother saw them.

[Ann]

The RA I mean not BBMF.

[Barmaid]

We saw them - 10 of them (which I had to explain to Mr BM). No idea what time it was, probably 5ish. Straight over the lake.

[Ann]

Lucky you BM - how lovely! but strangely quiet here :(
Hope we see them tomorrow coming back from their display at the start of the British Grand Prix.

[Barmaid]

You won't Ann. They are staying at brize Norton til Monday. So they will leave BN, display at Silverstone and then back to BN. You might see them Monday.

[carrust]

We've just had the police helicoptor doing a fly-past!

[grasscarp]

That helicopter was looking for nose pickers in your area carrust.

[carrust]

And arse-scratchers GC :-)

[Ann]

Thanks BM - had forgotten that, I did look earlier at their transit page. We had a brilliant view of them last year right over our garden after the GP. They never fail to thrill us, wonderful view ........... easily pleased LOL ;))
