Weather permitting; Halkyn/Flint Mountain has some nice viewing areas if you time it right for the Wiggle-Show air displays! :y

Interesting. Might have to do a bit of twitching at the end of the runway.

bet you dont when you see the weather here.......its keeps chucking it down.......and it isnt light rain either.

But on the bright side (for me that is  ;D )........our fares going/from the IAT have gone up this weekend......£30 to/from Swindon station if your a car, £50 if your a people carrier.  :y :D

 ;D don't need to pay for this either, nearly every air display is visible from my back garden! Still Lechlade is full of bloody tourists, I need a damn shotgun just to get through the bloody traffic!!!  >:(

I remember a couple of years ago, the Stealth Bomber flew directly over the garden, brilliant aircraft!
