So nice to have that flexibility isn't it. Glad things worked out with the fix.

Thanks Andy, and yes, being retired has its advantages regarding flexibility.

Got home safely earlier this evening, although it was a slightly tiring drive of just over five hours, due to a broken-down wagon partly blocking the A14 (it normally takes under four hours to cover the 200 mile journey).
Happy to report that the car ran smoothly, without any dramas.
I'll sort and post a few pics over the weekend, with some sunny views of the Tin Tent and some tasters from the Sywell air show, with the show itself being covered in a separate thread in the "Warbirds Displays" section.

Yep, I miss my campervan too, and I've been considering getting another, compact one, in addition to the permanent Tin Tent.
Anyway, here's how things looked on site this year, the 'van and awning set up, and with clear blue skies and hot sun (see the pic of the thermometer, just before it hit 42C/107.6F !!), with the temp a bit cooler in the following evening at 18.58 hrs - and obligatory Abbot Ale of course !
One of the resident bob tails was also enjoying lunch in the sun.
Sadly some of the magnificent conifer tress had died, and had to be taken down over the winter, but at least it reduced the pine needle detritus and gave a clearer view of the sky.
A few "taster" shots of the Sywell air show are also included, and I'll cover the show in depth in the "Warbirds Displays" thread, once I've sorted the pics over the weekend.

Good shots. Only one poor guy pulling the Corsair prop through. Get the man some help!

Yep, just like the instructions photo !
Need to get some more pegs for the PSP though - I nearly went Rs over t*t a couple of times, after catching a foot on the edge of a mat.

Thanks chaps.
I'll admit, I thought about deploying the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch when the huge rabbit emerged from the darkness of the treeline !
