DGS2 and I came out f Sainbury's yesterday to the sight of the Dreamliner and the RR owned Spitfire flying overhead. Apparently they were doing a flypast over Rolls Royce (Derby).

I confounded all the men asking what it was by knowing all about it. I knew there was a benefit to watching local news! grin

I have a soft spot for Rolls Royce as my Dad worked for them for years and then went to work for a company who supplied nosal (brains gone dead - how do you spell nosal confused guide veins to them. He was one of the first people I ever heard of to be head-hunted (although it wasn't called that in the 60s!)

We have the red arrows tomorrow I think. It's the Bristol ballon fiesta

We had the air show weekend before last but I didn't go to the seafront, I watched it live on youtube via facebook.
