"UK FS Show pix from Pete Dowson"

This is one of the pix sent in by Pete.

Ben
======================================

The show was very crowded and none of the "general show" shots I took were worthy of any viewing. However, for purposes of future recognition (and possibly infamy <G>), I have captured delightful portraits of some famous people, including some illustrious members of VPC.

From left to right these are:

Alan Parkinson
Pete Dowson
Ray Proudfoot
Andrew Luck
Lee James
Bill Cusick

I'm not giving a report on the show. It was very full, very busy, but there were problems with traffic and especially parking. I'm sure Ray or one of the others will fill in details if you want any more.

Regards,

Pete

Mike,

I'm sorry we couldn't muster up a Pattie Wagstaff look-alike to add some glamour to the shot!! Have you noticed how the sun shines on the righteous? <bg>

Hi Ray

Hi Frank,

LOL! I'm closer to the sun so it melts quicker! ;-)

Hi Ray,

LOL! Me thinks the sun is always shining on your head though. I'm surprised you weren't dressed warmer with it being colder at altitude and all <g>.

Sounds like you guys had fun!

Hi Mike,

I struggle a bit with cirrus and cumulo-nimbus but don't have a problem with the rest! :-) Fun? Not this year for me I'm afraid. That picture was taken after I had walked back from parking the car a mile away and apart from looking a bit disheveled I managed a smile only for the camera. Looks can be deceiving!
