Out of interest, and just for posterity, did anyone manage to take a photo of the flying brazier as we went round the track?
Martin perhaps? You were right behind.
For those who didn't do the camping, here's a taste of life at Camp MR2 ......
Friday 24/07/15 06:47
Balloon rise over Camp MR2
07:49 Gary & Martin attempt Graham's 5 breakfasts team challenge
18:34 As the weather gets worse, Graham makes sure the flag is well secured
19:33 Soggy campers seek refuge in Camp MR2 Centre of Operations / Restaurant / Breakfast Bar. Graham rises to the challenge with a pasta starter followed by chilli and rice
Late on we finally retire to the tent and await Saturday
Saturday 25/07/15 07:41
IT'S NOT RAINING !!
More tents have mysteriously appeared overnight
Camp MR2 Centre of Operations is now surrounded by Mk1s
Our car is already on the show stand so a leisurely breakfast courtesy of Graham is eaten in the sun
The wet campsite roads mean the cars have to be washed again when they are parked on the show stand
Saturday 19:45
With the Status Quo concert just hours away, people arrive by any means of transport they can find
20:48
Some tremendous Group C racing starts the evening entertainment
Then it's the planes (this picture is taken off a bit of video I took hence the dodgy quality)
As the light dims and Status Quo take to the stage, the balloons glow along to the music, as does my brother's hair in a fetching shade of lilac.
The umbrella remains a mystery !
