Not rude at all Old Git. The runways will have to cope with maybe 120 or more aircraft landing with their veterans.

Moggie, you and I both know what a great day it is. Well over a hundred aircraft flew in to Halfpenny Green and a wonderful day was had by all. I love this photo of several of the veterans sitting outside Halfpenny Green Flight Centre and thoroughly enjoying themselves chatting to members. I spent most of my day parking aircraft (or at least telling people where to park). One of my favourite accounts from a pilot was his story of the trip down to one PP meeting. It went roughly as follows: I had the Squadron Leader in the RH seat flying the aircraft and the Sergeant Navigator in the back telling him where to go.
