Cripes , you were down in Christchurch , ya should have knocked on the door here .

I often see, on my journey to the museum, Singapore 235 on descent for YBBN, while one of his colleagues goes barrelling through at FL370, en route NZCH.
Must try for a shot of Amberley for Ian, as I pass in the train. The base is about 1.5km away, but at this time of year it is very well lit when my train goes past.

[Ian Warren]

Mike .. the Weather here appears to be turning pooh over the next couple days , I think the 'UGBUST' is as slimmey as Marty's Snail

[Lindstrim]

Depends if it's early, I might as I could be 1/2 way to WLG at the time

So it dose look that UGLY then .... UGBUST ! .... let hope it keeps to the record and not break anything here.

So it dose look that UGLY then ....

Actually, it looks ok to me - a sort of high brow intelligent look for a plane (if that's possible!) - sort of like the professor of the plane world if you like!

[Ian Warren]

Maybe that is why I need to see it , maybe with a white coat ... or a tweed coat with leather elbow patch's on the engine nacelle just so it dose'nt damage things when it bumps into things

My 2 nephews have taken the day off so they should come back with something even if it snows .

[Ian Warren]

Marty ! Now that is Dedication "Even if it Snows" Chris and Jono .. you guys won't get a snow flake on em , be running around snow much you'd create a heat ball around ya ..... So what day dose the UGBUST arrive ? ..... I don't want to get caught in the snow

I'm sure there is NO snow for Monday so keeps the other Dynamic Duo , Chris and Jono in charge to run around without a snow drift to navigate

[Lindstrim]

Didn't see the arrival of it but there was some hardy souls camped out waiting in the best spots when we landed around 1800ish.

But we departed about 20 min prior (1844) to it's the departure and there was a whole lot of cars parked up all over the airport surrounds.
