Was up Thursday and Friday both days frustrating,an early Hawk on thursday then zilch till 4pm when a Tuc came through followed a min later by a Tornado which went high to avoid the Tuc,i later found out from a mate on Thirlmere that it was a Luftwaffe IDS so what a shame!!!! The next day expected rain held off but very gusty early on 2 passes by an MC130 from Mildenhall a bit later Warton Hawk XX278 and late afternoon a private Gazelle.

Monday was sunny  The highlight was 3 Dominies,the lowlight was the Danish Merlin that went around the back of us on the West side,Chris C and my mate Ste got it on Thirlmere from the East side.2 Hawk's 3 Tuc's,3 Grob's and 1 Herc was the other trade,i understand Marham was shut and Harriers where on Night flying.
Today started on East side met Chris C and Ste was there too,at 1100 we decided to try Hause Point on Thirlmere,on arrival 2 Hercs but i was out of breath and could not get cam out of bag in time!! but got 2 Tuc's.By 1500 the light was gone so we were off,at 1534 i was at AA box at Duni and on mobi to Bro Ed when GR4 came through!!! 1549 still on phone 2 more GR4's!!! the light was very poor but thats the way it goes

Tuesday was a disaster for me and my bro at Cad,sunshine and heavy showers a precursor as to what it was going to be like back in Cumbria a few days later.We managed a Tuc and 2 missed Hawks but the weather won.Managed to miss the worst off thursday but parts of Ulverston are under water but nothing like the North Lakes.Dont know when i will get up to Duni again,all that matters is that Workington,Keswick,Cockermouth,Kendal amongst others get back on there feet somehow.

Friday; Cold partly sunny day in total 3 Tuc's 2 Hawk's and highlight was 20 sqn Harrier GR9 was joined by bro Ed.
Today Dec 8th; Joined by Sean (Vickers 4) arrived 0930 to a misty Duni but it was clearing but at 10am 2 GR4's pulled up and went high over us,but we did get 2 Pair's of Tuc's and Leeming Hawk's,1 Hawk T2 and 1Dominie. It was the first time i got a T2 at LL,but shooting at 1/90th on AV i didnt do it justice.

Got up to Duni for the last time this year Friday,very very cold -3 on arrival but sunny,i knew the weather elsewhere may stop a lot of traffic from comming and a lot of stations finishing for xmas except Marham (23rd) but i was sure Warton would oblige and they did,Hawk "Dusty Bin" and Typhoon IPA1 i had to go at 1330 so that was it,its been a great first year and look forward to more next,MERRY CHRISTMAS.
