OOOpppps!! 
sorry mcross! Honest mistrake to make!
Excellent photos of The Koli, it was a bit of a Rallye-fest with two Rallyes and a Koliber together.
Hi to Singapore Girl, I don't think we've met, but eveepee has mentioned you to me and I know she would have like to have seen you again.

Despite careful planning and good weather, yet again did not make it to a bash!
Was doing an all day IFR trip and with work commitments from 1900 onwards unable to stop off at Compton Abbas.
Seem to have missed a good meet.
May be next time!

Hello all,
A jolly afternoon, sitting in the sun watching the Tigermoth do it's stuff and the Hawk scaring the pigeons. The Sausage bagettes were nearly as good as the company.
One slight point myself and A Pommie are good old Wiltshire boys and we flew in from Oaksey park in Gloucestershire where the Auster's based not Swansea!

Told you my memory was 
Tell me which is who in the pics and I'll amend the captions.
Flew over Oaksey Park yesterday on my way between Popham and Nympsfield. Remarkably quiet it seemed!

It's an easy mistake to make as Windy is very welsh even if he's not from Swansea. We're easy to tell apart Windy's welsh with big hair and I'm not welsh but fat!
As has been said above a great day out with fine people and good food.

Why do it if it's not fun?

A huge thanks to Kolibear for providing me with a chariot for the day while the Europa is awaiting permission to go flying again!
Was a fun day out, pity the weather kept a few people away but those who did make it had a good time. Old Sarum is a wonderful little airport. Both Kolibear and I were too hungry to wait for lunch, so we enjoyed a very tasty Old Sarum sandwich each, which is a pity because the food at Compton Abbas looked very good but neither of us were hungry any more!
Looking forward to the next one!

PS - I have a few photos, but my home phone line is down, I'm restricted to PPRuNing at work, and I can't plug my camera in at work. So you'll just have to wait!

Can't help feeling that there should be a number across the bottom of this photo......
