Jack Posted June 4, 2013 Author Share Posted June 4, 2013 I've been meaning to drop in to Compton for a while, now I'll have to....... :-D I always remember when you came up to me at Headcorn to say hello and I asked what the traffic was like getting here and you said ' not a problem, I just flew straight in' I didn't realise until about 6 hours later you literally did fly in! Thought that was pretty cool:-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
