Great Day! Best Eagles Display I have ever seen - made me proud that I was once part of the Corps.

Well done all concerned - heres to the next 50.

How do they get the smoke to come out as Oxford Blue then become Cambridge Blue?

What with the Red aircraft, those are the AAC Colours!

Yes, really a great day. Beautiful weather and some excellent flying, (the parade and drill was good too!!!).

Quite strange going there with a visual image of people I last met nearly forty years ago and seeing if I would recognise any. Yes! managed a couple and a couple more spotted me, an impromptu reunion ensued!

Just one down side, it took me 1 hr each time to get to the loo. Had to speak to so many great people on the way - know any good bladder doctors?
(my fault should have stuck to 1/2 a shandy)
Great day
PS - how the hell did you know the mighty Drennan was there, 4500 people, it was hell finding anyone I wanted to see (except you wg, good to see you)

And you too, Gnd.

I got round the 1 hour bumping into people going to the loo problem.




I just swamped myself.
