I'm temporarily out of action for family reasons but I'm still flying JHB in
general. So I'm up for a go perhaps late April.

Hello all
Mike B and I met up earlier today for a visit to the Photography Show at the
NEC in Birmingham. ETA was 10.30 and, thanks to years of rigorous company
training at JHB and Noble Air, I arrived bang on time with the other Mike
actually a few minutes early!
After a rather disappointing trip to the Cosford flight sim show with Mike B
back in October, today's event was quite something. This was the last of the
four days of the show and I had expected fewer crowds - but it was absolutely
heaving ... and for good reason. I think every imaginable aspect of
photography and its associated hardware, software and culture were present
there, either at display stands or lectures (or both). I think Bones would
have been drooling over some of the kit there, particularly some very
sophisticated aerial stuff.
Unsurprisingly conversation included some JHB reminiscences. Neither of us
are as active in flight sim as we used to be - well, we've both got a lot of
hours on the clock and aren't as airworthy as we once were. Some of the
replacement parts required just aren't available any more. But I think we
could both manage, and enjoy a one-off fly-in for old times sake ... is this
a possibility, or is there just not the interest there among the rest of you?
Best regards to one and all.
Mike L
