Now that they are scrapping [housing] the runways, we can't do our flying courses anymore

PROTEST!!!

Its been here all week , the amount of people from my workplace appear to be heading in for a look for the finale , one has even booked himself on the Cat flight and looking for another, strange at work im called 'Wing- Commander ' ... 'Biggels ' and even 'Wingman' , i should have been the promotions manager but alas its cable making again

Tempratures supposed to get upwards of 35 degrees Ian, or so I've heard...black t-shirts may not be the greatest idea I'll be there for sure.

We will arrive at Omaka at 6.30am to get the Nanchang ready and will head down at around 7.00am and we should be there by 8.00am.
Have to be on the ground by 8.30am as we have been given a parking space which will give us a good spot to get the aircraft in and out between the displays.

We have a flight at around 11.00am which involves the Nanchang plus two other aircraft.
I hope to get Wigram in the background of several of the photos and the brief says we will be flying at 1300ft agl and we should be overhead the airfield most of the time so any photos you guys could get of that formation will be appreciated.
I dont recall these two aircraft flying in formation ever so if it goes well a few people will be very happy but had better shut up incase I jinx things.
Also if the flight does go ahead I have worked out a nice break move which might look good from the ground if we are in the right place and I call the break at the right time, no pressure

Some low foggy cloud has rolled into Blenheim this evening and I sure hope it is gone by the morning otherwise we wont be getting far.

Hope to see some of you tomorrow.

Cheers
Gavin
