Monday spent my birthday at Warton on my back from brother's on merseyside,was there from 1130 till 1800 a very good day and good company ( steve ). Several flybys by Valley Hawks,the Highlight was 2 Saudi Tiffs, all the take offs were from 08 and landings,a Saudi Herc also came in. Today was at Duni from 1100-1750 3 Tucano's 1 Tonka 3 Hercs ( a pair then later a singleton ) will get pics up later.
