Can I add my appreciation to Tom, Bill and everyone else involved in organising such a successful and enjoyable event. There is never enough time to meet everyone but there's always next year.

Few more.
And for Joyce to receive a trophy for the best T-bar was an unexpected pleasure, for which we are very grateful.
Last one for now.
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.
Yea i will ask my girlfriend to send me the pics i think she got a couple with it in.Originally Posted by Vistalite
Yes i talk to myself, sometimes i need a professional opinion
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
But it's all worth it when over 30 shiny Mk1s fill the stand
Do you prefer red or white ?
Other colours were available during the 80's !
Gary's car clinic and mobile repair service goes down well with the crowd
13:34 The parade lap draws to a close
We prepare for an evening of entertainment
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 !
