Thumbs up Thanks for the photos

Good to see some photos of the day & to see that my old LzR managed to get in on one of them! But at least Mr Rackham's Aveling was in there too

Thanks for those involved for a great day, as an engine owner. I felt very warmly welcome & well look after. Only hope that next time I will get to bring mine own over!
Also thanks to Mr Higgs for crewing & looking after the Aveling today, only hope he wasn't missing any of his duties!?!
Even if you didn't by me an ice cream. Not that I would mention it of course!
(It's going to take a very long time to live that one down, I hope you know that?!?)



Cheers

Dan

Thumbs up Oh almost forgot!

Many thanks to the very nice & kind young lady that did buy me an ice cream, not that I would mention that anyone had forgotten to get me one when getting theres!

But also for the good photos that have been taken, those ones are good you have they Mr Higgs. At least you have come in useful for something! Not just for the blame for when it all goes wrong, but I am sure it was your fault anyway!


Cheers

Dan
