G'day young Ray, I've been reading your daily work routine at the asylum, I must admit I get a good chuckle from some of your writings.
Travelling quite well I reckon just taking things quieter and really trying not to get involved with any blood pressure moments.
House renos at the moment so I've spent some time repairing and trying to stop models launching off the shelves due to non stop hammer blows to the walls from the other side.

I forgot to remind any one coming that if you need more info phone 0419794903.
Wayne.

I'm looking forward to it. It's probably the only opportunity I'll get to line up all eight 747 models on the one table (and another 11 Lightnings) (and a few little French tanks too).

So sorry we didn't make it up there today boys.....small issue of unexpected sickness.
Hope all went well, and everyone had a good day.
Any pix.

Being crook is an fair enough excuse for not turning up. And your absence was noticed.

I don't know about any photos, I took some but the photographer of the group is Wayne and he forgot to bring his camera. I wonder whether it was his subconscious at work or ...

Having noticed your absence, Ray, I took a couple of photos just for you as we were packing up. All the little French tanks had gone by this stage but here you see eleven BAC lightnings - from the back a very early F.1, then a 56 Squadron F.1A, then eight F.3s in the markings of most of the units that flew them, and finally a Saudi T.55. From the back, as if you need my help, a Pan Am -100, a Qantas -200, an Australia-Asia SP, an Ansett -300, a Qantas -400 and a KLM -400F.

And here, just for you Ray, are all eight 747s. They sure do take up a lot of space.

Did I have a good day? I guess so. As usual I intended to sit and put together some plastic to show the visitors what is involved in making a model but after six hours I had managed to liberate and glue together four pieces. And I'm feeling rather hoarse after talking so much for so long.

Outstanding line-up mate. I am really disappointed I did not get to see them in the "flesh".
The photos are much appreciated.
