A really enjoyable show-great to meet up with a few of the guys, put my Mig17 on the display table, make some purchases and give a donation to Operation Magpie. All in all very good.

I am extremely pissed off about missing it, but I only got out of hospital today. I went for a routine blood test the other day and it was found that my Kidneys are about buggered, not enough for Dialisys, which is what I was originally going in for, but I will definately need them swapped out for new ones. It was also discovered I had massively high blood pressure, after the crap I've been through in the last few weeks I am not surprised, and yhis is what I was kept in for. Still the BP is coming down now, which will help. So, apologies for niot attending but now I can at least plan for the rest of the years shows. Especially looking forward to the Shropshire show in April.

Missed you too, Chris.
The lurgy can be unpleasant.
