At me lock near here today.

All the aircraft came overhead low and some several times

There was a Hawker Hunter which was LOUD!!

Alongside a static display of aircraft, there will be a Flight Display taking place in the afternoon. Whilst the details have not yet been finalised this is set to be bigger than ever, with last years’ display including:

Eurofighter Typhoon
Spitfire
Hurricane
F35
Puma
GSA K21
The RAF Aerobatic Team – “The Red Arrows”http://
:thumbsup:

F35 - the aircraft that arguably ended my career, didn't win a single bid to get equipment on it.  Still like to see it in flight.
Well, whatever, nevermind

Lovely to see in flight, huge military asset but you won't ever get me in one.  If that shaft connecting the two rotors fails they chop themselves to bits and it never ends well

Well, I guess they wrote your address on the front of the envelope, put a stamp on it and the nice postman delivered it to your door...?  rubschin:

Been waiting for a delivery... ::)

Called the courier company (AKIS) Wednesday and was told it would be delivered to Pissouri that day...

...didn't arrive Wednesday or Thursday...  evil:

Called today and apparently it is 'too big' to deliver to Pissouri - I have to drive to Pafos and collect it...  cussing:

I'm going to be driving right past the shop I ordered it from and they are charging me €4 for the privilege!  Banghead Banghead Banghead
