Ok ow, effing ow ow ow! I am currently hunched over my keybooard, ow, typing away ow ow ow and in a lot of honest to god pain. I went home early Wednesday with the mother of a sore throat, Thursday as mentioned above managed to get a sore neck coughing. Ow ow ow. And I missed ow out ow on the ow free flu ow jab. So the boss tells me (yes I went back to work feeling better apart from the neck ow) and he said if I nipped down to the local Dr we ow use I could get the jab. Filled out the paper work, do I suffer from all sorts of things, nothing about a sore neck or a cold. Suffice ow to ow say my neck and shoulders are as painful as listening to Phil Goff!  And I am supposed to be at work at 4:30am (A Ow frikin M!) tomorrow Please god and all thats holy let this not stop me from going to Omaka. I'll even say Fletchers are cool (yes its that painful! Sorry Zac ow!  I've got the drop tanks now mwahahahahaahah) Ow! Oh and yeah Craig I knew ow it was Craig ow. |

Sounds like you need to be quarentined. About two weeks should do it.

Ok ow, effing ow ow ow! I am currently hunched over my keybooard, ow, typing away ow ow ow and in a lot of honest to god pain. I can attest to the amusing Baz being in terrible pain... he even asked me to co-pilot the Mondeo on the way home from picking me up tonight. (well act as back up eyes for him) It hurt too much to turn his head to the left! So fingers crossed that my gentle massage, hot wheat bag & dosing him up with pain killers sees him back to full movement in time to enjoy the action at Omaka. |

For god sake sake Baz , Harden up ! ;D Actually I believe the correct statement is "Harden up Princess!" ;D Oh and Dave you know where you can stick your 2 week quarantine!! Painkillers and antiflam drugs have eased it a bit so hope to fit and well shortly. ;D Not long now lads! Doesn't that P40 look great. |

I've posted some forum nametag images for people to use, to reduce the number of awkward questions as we try to meet up, and to help with remembering the names of 10 people you have just met! You can copy from here. |

Sounds like you need to be quarentined. About two weeks should do it. I totally agree, a responsible person would not subject his fellow citizens to being exposed to his horrible lurgy. (spot the oxymoron---Baz and responsible!) He should also be given an "unclean" sign to wear around his neck and a bell to ring! Don't worry about the show, we'll tell you about it. |

The guys at Ardmore and Omaka are working so hard to get the FW-190, Tomahawk and Strikemaster ready in time for Classic Fighters. When the Tomahawk shut its engine down on Friday night the sound of a Strikemaster could be heard in the distance. The guys look tired, but are soldiering on, thanks guys we appreicate your efforts and hopefully it all works out. Tomahawk engine run: Warren running up the engine:  Strikemaster as seen on Friday, was running its engine later in that day, hopefully the engine testing went well.  |

Really appreciate your daily updates, photos and videos Gavin, and Colin, even tho I won't be there, at least get a taste of the excitement and anticipation!
That is a beautiful-looking Tomahawk.
Cheers, Chris

No thanks to the weather I am finally safely "home" in Blenheim, currently enjoying watching the v8s with the bro in law.
My excitement levels are growing rapidly and the pics are getting my juices flowing, I CANT WAIT!!!!
Will be great to catch up with everyone, Baz (whats left of you) Dave, Grant and everyone else.
The sooner this weekends weather clears up the better, I hope the forecast for next weekend pans out, cause this is friggin cold...

Hope you brought your thermals with you, I gather they are essential for the twilight display.
