[Rob]

I managed to get down to the fleet review for 4.45pm today... 250 thousand people down there!... what a sight though, truly amazing!. I know Russ was planning to be down there (hope you enjoyed)

Firtsly a massive thunder storm, then the cloud & mist cleared.... fantastic site see www.bbc.co.uk for picys.

I bet the storm added beautifully to the gunfire & smoke there Rob. Glad you had a good time - also you Russ (if you went).

[Rob]

Shame you could not see it Andy... its quite something, even if your not a boat/ship lover. Its just the scale of the gathering 8)

[AndyMac]

Nevertheless I'm very interested in history Rob. Been watching the reviews on the news (better than nothing).
