Bloomin' great queues of traffic around mid-day so went to McArthur Glen and came back around 2.00pm and drove straight in. Still queues at the food outlets yet all in all not bad at all. I could hear shooting but was there a clay event nearby? Surely I wasn't hearing gunshots from the range at Southwell?

Thanks TC. 
When Dad was about 76 I took him to see the Lanc at East Kirkby. I told them he was an ex-tail end Charlie and they let him look round the turret before they ran up the engines. 
When I said, “I bet that takes you back,” he just replied, “What makes you think I would want to go back?” 
Says it all, really.

He died two years later.
