Read this an hour ago, and scrambled with camera to Cott. Spoke to a very nice sqn ldr who told me that the landing was postponed until 1600. So, I've come home for wet weather gear and a flask, prior to subsequent redeployment. Which is about as exciting as it'll get for me today.

Great stuff

903 - you don't realise how many people are getting excited waiting on your posts - my whole office has been waiting nervously in Lincoln for you to report take off - Brilliant (and some of us paid good money to help even the second time VTTS needed it!)
Please keep up reports.

Tombstone has been deep and silent since he failed to provide the evidence.....

Mind you, after I rang the crew after Flight 1, they wimped out of telling the press about his promise!

"Calling Tombstone! Where are you?? Oh T O M B S T O N E!!!"
