The Gathering !

[iandc2003]

Huge thanks to all concerned (you know who you are!) for another brilliant day. I have a feeling Old Warden is likely to become our regular venue. My guests, first timers, were mightily impressed and joined on the spot. Onwards & Upwards.

Hi All;

Smashing sets of pictures that have been submitted for all to see. As it's just about impossible for me to just hop on over to attend, I'm glad I could put some faces to familiar names.

Glad that everyone had what seems to be a great time, that the weather was great as was the venue.

My hat's off to all the contributors and for helping make this overseas member feel in some ways I was there.

Thanks to all!

Cheers,

Ian,
On behalf of "the Team" (we think we know who we are !) thank you for your comments and we are very pleased we impressed your friends who have become supporters.

Regards
Andy D...that chap on the gate !!!!

The Tenth Grace Spitfire Annual Gathering was a momentous occasion that went like clockwork as a reault of all the hard work put in by Una Watts and her team at Shuttleworth Collection, the catering by Paul and Jane Cousins, the Grace Spitfire Supporters who worked so hard on the day assisting with entry (thank you Andy Day!), moving the people around for movement of the Spitfire and of course for the photo,the photography done by Darren and the filming (to be shown later) by James Hepburn, the clearing up of the hangar after and last but by no means least Maggie, Tony and Anne who worked non stop at the stall plus James Wheeler who I saw was working tirelessley there as well and all of them always with a smile! What a team.

It was a day to remember and cherish which is certainly what many will do judging by the emails and letters I have received. I know that it will always remain so in my mind. 

I am so pleased that our valued supporters who could not attend are able to get the sense of being a part of it all, as I assure you you are!

Well done to all
