It might be four...but I'm too superstitious to do more than whisper.
Even then, I'll only confess to being me if I arrive in a smooth and seemly fashion.
Otherwise I'm somebody else who borrowed my aeroplane...
In any event, I'm no substitute for Genghis et al

Well I fully expect to be there, if only to see In Altissimus's New ToyTM (rats can't do superscripts).
Look forward to meeting anyone else who actually manages to make it. I'll be in a new(-ish) 172 G-WACM, with a couple of non-ppruners.

Just wondering if anybody made it down to Compton Abbas today especially In Altissimus in his New ToyTM 
If anybody is looking for somewhere to go tomorrow a few of us are flying down to Dunkeswell for lunch from White Waltham, Redhill and Thruxton.

It's a little embarrassing to admit I made it, in a fairly seemly fashion too, so could admit to being myself, only to realise I'd not the slightest memory of the aeroplanes I was looking for.
Is that a good definition of dumb?

Brooklands and I made it, Champ Chump where you in G-TECC, becasue if you were, I smiled at you as we walked in opposite directions to and from our respecitve mounts.
Thanks for giving me a reason to go somewhere outside of my normal operating area - its a fair old haul in Falke.

Affirm! Sorry I didn't connect effectively, but I'll learn to be more proactive one day....
You don't want another Falke do you.....? I don't want to be an airline anymore.

Bletclytuggie - good to see you and Brooklands / In Altissimus on Sunday!
Sorry Mrs CB, Minor CB and I drove (as it's local and my potential planned flight there with Boss Eyed fell through as he had a honky wonky hangover from a party the night before!
), but it was an entertaining diversion from the gardening!! 
Glad to say that CB Minor enjoyed the close presence of flying machines and Mrs CB appears to now be relaxing on the idea of letting experience the pleasures of heavier than air flying!!

As bletchleytugie said I managed to get there along with In Altissimus in his New Toy, and a 'supercell' of CBs (is that the right collective noun? ). I'd forgotten that ChampChump said he would be there as well so wasn't looking out for him, sorry.
I've got one or two photos of the day, but don't have anywhere to host them.
An enjoyable day, and we have a nice display or aero's by what looked like an Vans RV.

Pictures
Rather belatedly, but I've finally sorted out getting a few pictures hosted:
The 172SP which I arrived in from Wycombe
A rather nice Vans RV (but nothing to do with the fly-in)
Bletchleytugie departing
In Altissimuss's New Toy
I'm sure it wasn't as dreary as the pictures make it look: it must be my camera
