Trooping the Colour

   The painters and finishers will have a large printer that will be used for a/c stickers, with that they can knock up anything. 
They will probably have the RAF Corporate logo saved in already, if not get it off headed note paper and take it down.
The stickers will stick ok to a laminate sail, but they don't like Dacron so you should be looking good. Orange is a clash with Red, White & Blue though!
Good Luck

	Yer, Missed out this year on getting my circuit on, not that it makes much difference as I can't get much time off anyway! The only travellers I will make it to is the Worlds in Weymouth as I threw my teddies out the pram!

	Tack'ho its not all bad, RAF considers sport to be a duty, so travel costs to and from events can be claimed as expenses if your circuit is on the the auth'd list, cheers RAFSA!

	I try not to think about it, as we get funding for sailing events turned down for lack of cash.

	No problem folks anytime. If what you saw in suffolk was the same numbers and types of ac as the flypast then it was probably them lining up, they tend to be lined up in formation by suffolk cause thats only a couple of mins for downtown london.

	Duxford isn't actually an RAF base- modern planes only turn up for shows there- if they're flying at the show, they'll turn up in the week beforehand and parctice the routine on site. When you're in a single glazed conference room, a Typhoon doing acrobatics rather drowns everything out. Most of the time though, it's mainly Spitfires I see from the office...
