I went to Stansted last Saturday for a while to take advantage of some half decent weather and to avoid a 'budgie convention' that my wife had organised with her friends - my brain couldn't have coped with that! Nothing very exciting but got some fresh air before the xmas excesses.

thanks for looking, C&C welcome

Nice set, Andy

Was the convention anything to do with budgie smugglers?

no just some old budgies that don't stop chatting about the most inane subjects my wife actually warned me they were coming and suggested I might like to find an excuse to go out for a while - I didn't need asking twice.

you beat me to it Mike!

Nice mix as per usual Andy.

Nearest I've got to an aircraft recently were a few trails over Cromer today with the family.
