Or from certain Barclays Banks (list on line) except the two branches I've just walked into in Bristol don't know anything about it ! In the sensible old days I'd pop into Waitrose or a number of other outlets and just pick 'em up. End of rant ! I'm going on the Saturday - may meet other AiXers ? EDIT Oh No - all my spacing has gone - we've got formatting problems again - and I can't put an unhappy Smiley in either.
Plan A is always more effective when the problem you are working on understands that Plan B will involve the use of dynamite
I want to go this year not been for ages but struggling to find a coach tour going, I gave up driving there after waiting over 5 hours to get last time I went.

Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the War Room!
The bus from Bristol is £45. I (+ my mate) will get dropped off at Swindon bus station by his wife (and her mate who will go off and do girly things (antiques and craft fairs)). Dave and I then get the shuttle bus to Fairford which costs a fiver (return) and has a secret route into the base. It's great value for money. In the old days we'd agree a time to get picked up at the bus station - could be an hour out either way. These days the mobile phone solves that one.

What no Waddo pics? Come on it, it's 7.30 already!
To knackered and sunburnt to sort through them all right now mate. Couldn't resist this one though. The Thunderbirds rather nice commentator. I must admit i found my self looking at her more than the team flying to be honest -
Such a shame to say goodbye to the Nimrod this weekend -
Good to see REF, NJR & JH at the ARG Roadshow this afternoon.
Here are a few photos - no doubt we will see more as REF and others were armed with much better lenses than me!
What did you think of the Air Display?
Personally, I enjoyed 'Team Viper' more than the Thunderbirds as the five Hunters performed a fantastic routine; pity the Stringbag was sidelined to the static display.
In summary, I thought the airshow was a great family day out with my wife n kids, but with my aviation enthusiast hat on, hmmm I felt the show didn't quite reach its full potential - would have been nice to see one last flight of the Nimrod R1?
Nice photos Steve, sorry I didn't get to see you and Mick before you went, hopefully catch up soon though. Thanks for the text as well hydealfred - meant to reply but was watching the Thunderbirds when you text and got distracted! Some of my photos from today (Sunday), The Saturday photos will follow later.
A good weekend for ARG, Noel will probably put a report up on the weekend when he gets 5 minutes.
I must express my thanks to Warren, Jim Hope, Noel and Chris for their help and company this weekend. I was great to see alot of ARG Members come up and say hello as well.
Cheers
Rich

Got a 'Paddington Bear' stare from the wife for taking this one of Miss England after she walked right past where we were sitting - hmmm...can't imagine why!
