We were there all day and had a cracking time - I'll post some of the other highlights in a day or so.

Thanks to andygolfer for the updated ETAs on the Stansted Yahoo list, and for info on the best to place to set up camp now the mound next to the Flitch Way is being redeveloped (http://www.civilianaviation.co.uk/forum ... 37&t=20835)

Kevin we did notice two chaps at the crossroads formed by the Flitch Way and the north-south footpath, was that them? From memory they were there for an hour or two in the morning.
