Current ride: 2 Buells + 3 Guzzis
Location: West Yorkshire
We never made it to Cadwell BSB but we did attend today's 65th Anniversary of East Kirkby's Lancaster, 'Just Jane'.

The sight and sound of 8 Merlin engines as the BBMF Lancaster flew over during Just Jane's taxi-run was something just a bit special and very moving. To make our day complete there were also 2 Mustangs, a Spitfire and a Hurricane which performed displays during the afternoon.

One of the best days of the year, helped by a great ride there and back on dry roads :P...

Current ride: S1W,S2T,1125CR
Location: North Bucks
A good weekend away but a disappointing one for our team. Warren had a call on Saturday to say that his Gran had had a stroke. Left Cadwell to go back and see her and had another call when he had reached Kettering to say that she had passed away :cry: After seeing the family he decided to race in his Gran's memory because she had encouraged him to race in the first place. 8-)

Sunday morning practice he had an off, was caught up by the bike and broke his damaged arm again :o Medical Centre, morphine, transport to hospital, end of season and voted "Unluckiest Team in the Paddock" by the other riders.

From a social point of view it was great :D Jill Brown and Ade played a blinder by setting up a tent for me and blagged me into the campsite which was sold out two weeks ago. Tent, airbed, blanket, storm lantern, beer, coffee and good company. Thanks, folks :yup:

Also hooked up with Kevmean and Digger with their respective entourages and big lenses. A few of the guys from work came up and George bumped into Wurth. Also saw a red XB12SS coming through the gates two up early on Monday.

Looking forward to seeing the rest of Digger's photos and finding out if the series will run again next year.

Steve

A real shame about Warren. I really hope the series runs again next year as it was great seeing the guys muscling those huge bikes round!!

Here's just a couple of photos I took. I won't include any of the bike racing cos my camera just isn't up to the same quality shots as others will post.... So, here's the 'Party in the Park'....
