Another good Leeds prospect was (I think) in the bar after the game, BJB looked well

Great to hear hopefully his health will be good enough to get him back on the Paddock asap.

I'm jet lagged. I'll let it slide.

Thats an impressive carbon-positive count you're building this year...

Me too (and prop legged), it was RAF Coningsby's families day yesterday. Pretty good although no Vulcan this year as it's still in 'winter' servicing.

Nearly went myself. I will always remember the thrill of seeing the Vulcan at Church Fenton back in the late 70's...always a 'thunderous' highlight.
Closest to it since was the pair of Sukhoi 27's at Woodford having to display at low altitude because of low cloud.

Budget flight to Europe next month. Remember someone who used to show faux indignation at such behaviour?

That person has since personally killed off most of Brazil with his carbon count

Very impressive result considering Leeds were without:

5 - Ryan Hall
6 - Danny McGuire
7 - Rob Burrow
10 - Jamie Peacock
11 - Jamie Jones-Buchanan
12 - Ali Lauitiiti
13 - Kevin Sinfield
16 - Ryan Bailey
19 - Luke Burgess

That must be quite a squad Gary Hetherington has assembled this season. Arguably the deepest at Leeds since 2004.

I hold my hands up I didnt attend however its seems I may have been a little hasty, Well done to the boys fantastic result, I dont mind being proved wrong as was the case, i must have more faith

The arrival for his UK debut is well described here http://www.airsceneuk.org.uk/oldstuff/a ... natoly.htm The lowest, slowest, longest wheels up approach I've ever seen. Quite a remarkable sight, by a remarkable man and a remarkable aircraft. The Woodford display you speak of was immense as he/they created their own eco system. More vapour produced in one day (Anotoly displayed as a pair and also gave a solo display later) then you'd see in a season. There are a couple of nice photos on his Facebook page although none from Woodford unfortunately.

Indeed but he wouldn't make my or I suspect Leeds' first choice 17/18 in 2010 now that Smith has returned so I decided against including him here. Good prospect to have waiting in the wings though.

I doubt he would be in the 17 but he would be in before Bush so maybe he could be counted as "missing".
