Just for you mate


Also just noticed what it has on the tail- Cavallino Rampante!! The prancing horse! Ironically which was used originally by Count Francesco Barraca, an Italian WW1 ace who was KIA- Enzo Ferrari used the horse after Barracas mother said it would bring him good luck.

@ Gilly: In italy it's still possible to see the Baracca's engine, taken from his last plane crash. It's expsed at "Museo storico dell'Aereonautica" on the Bracciano Lake, near Rome.

A pic? I hope that's with arms outstretched, and saying "Bogies" instead of "Cheese"?

Well, I have no idea what to expect, really. I've heard the Horsemen will be there, or something. Other than that I have no idea what to expect!

Best place to look is here

They've also brought an app out for iPhone and android which is worth having. As well as the horsemen I do know this is coming over from Austria

The flight line you pay for as you enter it. I think last years proceeds went to a local charity.
Well worth every penny.

Where you camping overnight Gilly?
