Sure thing Mick. I'll throw it in my flight box now - if we miss each other this weekend, give me a call or drop me an email (contact details in the "Club Members Only" forum)

Hey Gazz, any chance you'll be opening up for a flight tomorrow morning? Would be a rare treat to be able to drive in on a Wednesday!
