In 1966 when I was a Dockyard Apprentice, I witnessed these flying from HMS Victorious. The Buccaneer was launched by steam catapult, along with a 1000lb bomb which it later dropped into the sea. The Gannet was able to take off from the flight deck with the ship travelling at full speed. All very exciting for an 18 year old.
When I first got the zed the first meet I had was there. Good place to visit Alan.
Yes you did! Just as we were leaving if I recall!!Me too Dave. Met you there, but I didn't let it put me off . . . . . . . . .

Today was cooking/baking day at Midlands and Shirl said it might take all day. I said, "You're going to need a bigger mixer" .
Anyway she coped bless her so you'll all have a nice sweet treat to follow an excellent lunch at the pub on Sunday.

Really looking forward to this now. 
Maxine uses one of those for making scones:- That's why 'In my mouth they melt like butter, but in my stomach they set like cement.'
That line stolen from Benny Hill.

No worries mate, thanks for letting me know. I can offer a spot to someone else. Good luck with the 2.8 and we'll see you somewhere.

A bit of a waste, Alan, dropping the bomb in the sea, they're not exactly cheap to chuck away!!!!

We remember that well, Tony, it's the first time we met you & Shirl.....and the first time we met Dave and Jue was having a cuppa with them at a National Trust place, but can't remember where!!!!

We don't hear anything from them nowadays, despite reaching out to them, it was sad as Mark just kept finding reasons not to take part anymore, he stopped using his Zed over two years ago, although we believe he still has it!
