Thanks guys ..... It was a great weekend . For some of us (ended up with 9 of us) it had been the late 90's since contact was made, but when together it was like yesterday.
It was a little more subdued than i thought it would be (age winkyy.gif ) but just magic.... these guys are real hard buggers , what they haven't done , they have watched(you dont want to know) .... but treated my place and flatmates with a great deal of respect.
All checked out this arvo , heading back to the U.K and Ozz .....via a few bars in Akl.

In between bouts , i did manage to do some sim shopping . Got myself a few more (then & now) WBS Stangs, the FR P-40, the VS Wacko , and the GKS F-111.... well thats i remember buying laugh.gif

All in all , a bloody great weekend ..... emphasis on the "bloody great" ..... going to miss them , that may have been the last time .
