HH down & clear.

I had a great time. I feel bad that I didn't notice Gareth's improved Abe costume - but to me it's always looked good.

Like ADC said great chats, food, photos and FUN!

See you all in a couple of weeks!

Harry

My photos are up. Only took 10 photos for some reason though, Can't think why

I'll post the vid of Daniel's presentation tonight hopefully.

Here are some photos of the Midlands drop.



Our brave Xenomorphs, Sidewinder, Mantroon and Pug...



Daniel Kash receiving his Gold award from Friendlyskies, ADC camera at the ready.



"If you go down to the woods today................!"



"Welcome to Dropship Airlines, I hope you enjoy your combat run with us today!"

L to R: me, Daniel Kash & Clangertoo


I guess we really should have Star Trek costumes on in this pic!



This punter was so startled he dropped his bag..........go bugs!



"Hey, there's something b..........Oh no, not again!"



From R to L:

Glenn, Sidewinder, ADC, Harry, Data's hat!

(not sure what ADC is pointing at, but apparently it mostly comes at night, mostly! )




Pug going all Gieger-esque!



Don't worry, this ultimate squad of badasses will protect you!

L to R: Data, Clanger68 & Friendlyskies .............. actually maybe you should worry!



Harry explains what influenced Daniel Kash's character name!



A very enjoyable, if somewhat quiet drop.

Always good to catch up with you guys, good conversation, food and drink.

Some good ideas for the future banded around.

Daniel and Ian Whyte were great company at the event.

Roll on the next one.

Cheers,

Andy

I have to say there was a definite improvement in the air quality in that area

Wow
Cracking pictures from Andy and Harry there!
Great one of the Clangers and Mr Cash – Andy looks like he came to chew
gum and kick ass – and it looks like he's all out of gum!

And a corker of the guy who dropped his bag!

Harry's last one, it took me a few seconds!

Troons pix on Face Book are really nice from the shoot they did.

BTW I was following a Honda on the way home from the M6 to the M42 slip road until the hopwood services on the M5.

Was not hopwood I meant Michael wood services.

I was driving right behind you Gareth.

I know. I was also just behind Karyn and Andy. And you thought I was ignoring you when you pulled up alongside me on the inside?

Unfortunately, you disappeared about 2 minutes before we both pulled into the next services to have KFC together.

Yes I lost you in the heavy rain as there a van in the way and lost sight of you.

I stopped at Michael Wood Services on the M5 just before the M4.

There a burger King and KFC there.

Cheers Andy.

Cool photo's by the way Harry.

Steve, we were hoping to make it to the Gordano services on the M5 but our APC ran out of juice!

It was a case of dashing into the nearest service station, we didn't know Gareth and Paul were right behind us until then!

Horribler weather wasn't it!

Very nice KFC though!

That calendar is wrong.

Love the pic though.
