It's p....ing down

and in 45 minutes I'm heading up the road to Waddington.

Camcorder is "waterproofed" inside a plastic bag and leggings, boots and mac near door.

I'm assured that the sun is going to shine this afternoon.......

But then it takes more than a bit of rain to put us Brits off.

Have a good one guys.

The airshow was pretty good actually, saw all the flying although the red arrows didnt perform much as the cloud level was too low. After that it brightened up.

I thought the vulcan, eurofighter and the indian helicopter troop were fab, mirage was pretty good to, and it said that it probably wouldnt be there next year at the show so glad I saw it.

Went in the awac today as well, not at all like I had imagined it to be, spent 9 hours there today, got soaked then got burnt but had a fab time.

Cheers Creamegg, sounds like you had a good day...
Must remember my raincoat AND my suntan lotion for RIAT with the weather being as fickle as it is of late!
