Here's hoping the weather picks up this week because the current 7-day forecast does not look promising; lots of cloud, some rain on Friday and little sun.

Always the same, weather is great when you're stuck in work and disappears as soon as you go on holiday  :(

I wouldnt put much faith in long range forecasts, they change every day and there isnt much we can do about it anyway.

Just be prepared for everything from a monsoon to a heatwave and everything will be fine.... ;D

While I don't want to steal Casper or Hammerhead's thunder by posting pics before them  ;) I will say that, for me, RIAT 2010 was excellent. Took over 2000 pics over the 3 days, however Saturday was by far the best day weatherwise.

Next stop Farnborough on Friday.

Duffman rules  ;D ;D
