Ellestine! How could I forget you, in my quick recollection! Especially after your special event in Oberau. Not to mention your frau's errm, unusual exit from the top of the Marbachjoch!

Not to mention also your artistic contribution to a Jan Stenmark photo montage of a run above Niederau ~ classic! Wish I had saved that.

Ellistine were you one of the 900 boats that came to Bournemouth to watch the airshow. Never seen so many boats in my life.

Our boat never leaves Portland Harbor let alone making it to Bournemouth! We did think about coming up for that Firework World Record attempt. I hear it didn't go quite as planned?

Hmm, yes I heard about that. Tres amusing.

Yes the fireworks were a shambles but I believe they did okay on the Sat night, goodness knows how much that cost, glad I am not in that Council Tax area. The highlight for me was to see the Vulcan fly. My Dad was the aircraft technician, many years ago when that actual plane was in service at Boscombe Down so I saw a lot of it as a youngster, it was great to see it again. Actually bought a really nice Vulcan book that the crew and Pilots signed for my Dad, plus a membership for their club, he will be delighted.

I saw the Vulcan at the Farnborough Airshow last year - amazing plane.

My Dad flew in the Vulcan, then later worked as an engineer at AVRO, making parts for the Vulcan.
