What's the matter Peter?
Doesn't the rain and mud represent the WWII experience better than sun shine?!!!
That stuff is hard to import!
(I hope it's sunny too!)

Blue skies, (at Reading!)

They had a great Saturday last year, both weather and attendance wise, so I hope the show is financially healthy and can afford to invite some cool airplanes this year. Maybe this is the year they should quit trying to get the 109, though. It looks like Reading is just too far for that airplane to commit to coming.

The last year I vended there, the rain was just pouring. Some German re-enactors had purchased a heavy crate of some sort in the flea market, and four of them were carrying it up through the lanes. Near where I was standing resided a mud hole, and one of them went down in the hole. They all went down after that. I wish I had a camera as they were cursing with mad looks on their face, with mud all over themselves. For just a moment there, it was 1944 all over again.
