Excellent afternoon yesterday at the Newark Air Museum, Tankerstrashnav! Thanks for arranging such an enjoyable day - the bonus of the vile weather easing off for just long enough for 558 to fly past a few times was the icing on the cake!

NAM Newark Air Museum Aircraft List is an excellent museum with many rare exhibits ( I seem to have flown, or flown in, variants of about 14 of the types they have there...). They also have a complete ex-Coningsby F4 simulator; would love to have a play in that!

The new A46 from Newark to Leicester made the journey a breeze - sad that it runs over the old Officers' Mess at Syerston though. Way back when I was first in the RAF, the drive from Cranwell to the Fosse Way south west of Leicester was a nightmare of single track roads and the infamous Leicester 'ring road' - nowadays its dual carriageway all the way to the A5!

I hope the evening went well and that there aren't too many headaches today!

Looking forward to the next one - thanks again!
