Arrow Lots of big shiny noisy pointy planes

Not been to an airshow since I was a young lad. Sounds interesting.

I'll be there -both days!

Got roped into manning the GAPAN stand so make sure you pop in and try to guess which bloke is me!!
They're doing some big aptitude test survey thing which sounds kinda interesting so i'll be practising all day for when I may need to do one for real!

Oh and a 1664 for me pls Mike !

AB :

If he'll be damned lucky to get anything out of you, and given your current commitments, do you know anyone MS will be able to get anything IN to ?

And, if dates are confirmed in advance, I'd be willing to come along. Might even bring Mrs and nipper - good for their recognition skills !

I'll definitely be there - either although I'm not sure whether it'll be the 20th or 21st yet.

All this talk of drink and nobody has suggested a pub. I may be there on the 28th, probably at the Monkey Puzzle as I will have the family.
