Things that fly

Apologies for the lack of blogs recently folks. Been a bit busy. Our sort out has slowed down a bit. We have gone through all our books now and weeded out the ones we don’t want anymore. Listing them on bookmouch.com. Sent a couple off already to other people. Been meaning to produce a list of the books to put on our intranet at work to try and sell some of them. Sue has this dream of us setting up our own second hand book shop one day. Anyway every shop has to start somewhere, hasn’t it.

Been on my annual trip up to RAF Shawbury recently. Its where the RAF store all their surplus aircraft that they haven’t got the money to keep flying. Full of Hawks, Tucano’s, Gazelles etc. Nice. Went on to RAF Cosford afterwards to look round the Ground Maintenance School. This is where they train the Staff who look after the planes when they are on the ground. Some nice old aircraft in there. Pictures are available on the Air-Britain Site

Went to Pulborugh Brooks RSPB reserve on Saturday. Not as good as Tichfield Haven, but as RSPB members we got in free. Highlights were a snipe and a green woodpecker.

Football season has started again and have been off to watch AFC Bournemouth play. Hasn’t been good. Keep on loosing. The match next weekend is on the Sunday. They don’t want it to clash with the England match on the Saturday. Trouble is that it clashes with the last Popham Fly-in of the season. Which do I go to??
