The Cosford group had a great time, looking at planes, reading about planes, sitting in planes; then taking pictures of: looking at planes, reading about planes and sitting in planes.

Everyone returned to the club by mid-afternoon. Model flying was attempted during the rain, as an attempt to leave the engaging clubhouse, with little success.

Spirits were brightened as Garlic Bread and Spaghetti was presented at the dinner table. Followed by a small gift to Steve who unfortunately has to leave tomorrow before his birthday on Thursday.
An early night is planned in the hope that tomorrow will allow some sort of flying. - Reuben Buss
