All set up and ready to go, Hangar 7 is looking very good and we have lots of space.
We will have a good time...weather today was dry and overcast and brightened up in the afternnoon and quite warm, hope for the same or better tomorrow.
I arrived? home had a bite to eat and a long hot bath and a glass of vino.
See you tomorrow

Wow! Those pictures make me feel so envious.  Although I was just there to experience ML407 in a very intimate way I feel that I am missing out on the fellowship you shall all be enjoying.  You are a great group and do a fantastic job of supporting the cause.  Have a wonderful gathering and I shall drink a toast to all.

What a fantastic gathering we've just returned from.

Thank you to Carolyn, Olivia, Richard, Stevie K and all the team for making it such a wonderful day, and wasn't the weather great!

The setting of Old Warden was perfect.  An excellent flight line that made two perfect displays, brilliant.

Many thanks again.

Guy

Oh and to top it all I was given the opportunity to sit in the cockpit - I still can't believe I let my 10 year old son, Lewis, take my place, but it was certainly worth it to see his face!  He's still grinning now and I don't think he'll ever let me forget he got there first!

Guy,
Very pleased about today too, went like clockwork....was a bit hot on the gate though!!!

So Lewis took the honours and in the front cockpit too...

Full marks to the Shuttleworth team for letting us use Old Warden......such a superb location.

My first Gathering, but not, I hope, my last. A truly excellent day, with an opportunity to get up close and personal with that beautiful lady. And Carolyn's pretty amazing as well...

Many thanks to all involved for making it such a special occasion and especially to Carolyn for two fantastic displays and for dealing with endless demands on her time with wit and charm.

Best wishes,

John

What a fantastic day me and my wife had yesterday, The setting of the shuttleworth estate at old warden was beautiful, The dining and cuisine was fantastic, The weather was very pleasant and the flying display by carolyn was faultless and a pleasure to watch. It was an honour to be at the annual gathering and we can only look forward to next years. Keep up the good work!
