No, really it was. Can't thank everyone involved enough.
Just to correct you Gazza, Disco (Squadron Leader Mark Discombe AFC) was actually flying one of the Spits, the silver MK19, he waved at us when he taxied past. 40 mins later he was serving us tea and coffee and giving us the benefit of his knowledge during the tours. Amazing.
Gazza you mentioned in the opening post about making a donation and it was never mentioned after or on the day. I've had a little look and found a couple of ways people could contribute if they wanted to.

Some stuff to peruse in the mess whilst we drank our teas n coffees
A few pics of a WW2 logbook, it was about 4 inches thick and full of this sort of stuff.
