            Mick do you still see a lot of this up your way? Used to see it almost daily years ago, maybe less now with current commitments. Daresay you saw enough of it down South?

                  Everytime I allow the hired help (Pat) to escape I arrange a fly past as he drives down the pass. Mainly C130s but every now and then a Typhoon or Tornado. The Hercs are sometimes level with the house!

                    Something I have kept (as the old term say's) under the belt even from you Dave.
                    But just wait and see, as I know it will cause havoc.

                      Years ago I watched a pair of Hercs come up Loch Fyne, across the road right over my head about 200' and into the valley and pull a tight climb at the head of it. Wondered if there were any blokes in them feeling sick as sea going parrots. Possibly heading to the DZ up near Ft William, the name has left me now.
