Thanks for the Flypast

Just like to echo a very big thank you from me dear old Dad who is a fellow gricer (Steam enthusiast) and one of the 70 or so main supporters responsible for the Tornado locomotive. He was at York Station stood alongsidish HRH and Camilla and they were all thrilled with the RAF flypast. Charles got some smoke in his eyes (from the loco not the ac!) but apparently had a great day. Let's hope the RAF continue to be able to provide these sort of spectacles for many years to come.

PS Has anyone seen (?) the spoof bus advert on email attachment entitled 'There probably isn't an RAF, so stop worrying and get on with building the f******g carriers!'. Very funny but a bit said for my old employers.
