Waddington Airshow

Went to the Waddington RAF airshow, took the kids... Ryan didnt want to go and watch boring planes, however Scott couldnt wait!
Even thought all the new jets would be there, the plane that Scott wanted to see most was the Dambusters Lancaster Bomber :)
I couldnt beleive how many people turned up!! the place was packed... market stalls, fast food and all the military hardware on show too... a real excitement was around the place
The RAF did some target practice, the announcer over the tannoy explained what was going on... Good job because the explosions came well well before the planed flew through, must have fired from miles away!!! i think scott thought we was at war... big bang! and scott was rolling for cover on the floor HAHAHAH
Very impressive, if you start trouble and you see this babies BELOW heading your way...start behaving quick!!
OK this next plane might not be as devestating, but its a classic... Spitfire :)
Well just when i thought the excitement was getting all too much for scott.... they brought out his favourite plane of all time.... even Ryan was getting excited!!!
They started the engines on the Lancaster Bomber and the way Scott was jumping around i though we might need medical help....he was hysterical LOL
Well next they flew the SPITFIRE, HURRICAN and the LANCASTER!!!.... OMG i think its all getting to much.... MEDIC!!!!!
The show finished how it started... with the RED ARROWS :)

Silverstone racing

My mate Jeff goes Racing once a month in the MR2 championship... this month was at Silverston, home of the British F1
 
 As you can see his car is this brighly coloured orange number ;)
 
 In the famous Pits, Scott and his cousin James

A spot of night racing too, all adds to the excitement, Jeff cant drink for obvious reasons, but dont worry i was supporting him all the way, and more than making up for his lack of beverages :P
 
 And this was as close as the kids would get to alcohol too, they had a competition.... which kids could cheer the loudest!! My kids loud? must be cos they WON!!!
No suprise then, ive said they are the noisiest kids in britain all along ahahah, they won a Scaletrix racing game
