Aviation And The Man

[Rez 4,961]

Today, me old man came up, dont see him often enough, so we went over to the Aviation Centre in East Kirby where there was a Air show on. Only word really... outstanding. Real good day out with me dad and other half.

 

Cant be a bit of British. Cant beat a proper Lancaster. PLus plenty of other bits and bobs to see.

 

Another highlight of the day is that I bumped into the man. Simon W. Atack. The Pianoman. What a diamond. I so wish Id of had a picture with you Simon. Next time mate He had a stall there, selling his artworks... I saw the 'Before we go' artwork, and thought I know that damn piece... looked up and he was there. Quick kiss and a cuddle and I left. Hopefully see you again mate.

 

Some images. I know its not all airguns, but there is some guns involved.

 

 

 

 

 

 

And Jess gettin sweet talked...

 

 

By proper men. I did try to tea leaf a cheese sarneh... but they're still very sharp.

 

 

Then at the Blue Bell. A watering house with some heritage. To say the least.

Rez, the Lancaster was up norf not the long back at Teesside airport on the very day I was delivering in there I wished I'd got a pic of the size compared to the box van I was driving.

The wheels looked like the same size as van ...it's massive

 

You enjoy the days with your old man mate they are precious

Looks like a great interesting trip out, rounded off nicely meeting piano man too! A day to remember. There was a spitfire flying about last month in North Yorkshire. A very nice thing to watch!

Good post Rez. Just me talking Rez, but try and spend as much time with your loved ones as you can mate, time as they say is ever so fleeting.

All the very best for you and yours

Aww thank you Jamie it was a lovely surprise to meet you and your beautiful lady in the hangar at East Kirkby yesterday. You both have to come over to our home and have a shooting day with me soon. And Helen's cooking..- we won't send you home hungry. Helen pulls pints at The Blue Bell and is my local pub. The food is bloody marvellous and the beer is superb.

 

Jimmy's a lovely guy too. Thanks for those kind words mate. We are both keeping you in our thoughts for Nicola's continued good health and recovery from a really bad fall she had a while back. Ethan is a fine, lovely lad. We think the world of him and he's a credit to his family. He must be sprouting up into a bigger hunter now... You must come down soon too mate.

 

By the way, my MP40 Schmeisser-Erma is not a copy or a film prop, but an original German second world war weapon, Waffen stamped with Eagle proof marks and stamped-dated 1942. Deactivated of course.

 

See you lads soon I hope.

 

Love.

Thank you Simon for your kind words bro

 

Nicola is getting there bud but she lost her mother last week after a 4yr battle with the big C so that has set her back some

 

we have turned the kitchen into a make shift bed room at nights as we have been getting on top of each other

 

as we are living down stairs at the moment after her fall (sleep walking ) ,

 

any way we will come down again mate once every thing settles down

 

Then me and you will show that Rez how to do some proper shooting with air rifles
