Great, cheers - I also need to work out where in the attic I put the originals 😉
the Draken is an awesome plane.
Remember at an air show in Denmark, where one came out of a cloud at low altitude, banking on knife edge with full afterburner, what a sight that was (not to mention the sound)

Do you [s]planespotters[/s] aviation enthusiasts know anything about the red/white plane doing aerobatics over Anglezarke Moor mid-afternoon yesterday?
Maybe a "Red Letter Day Aerobatics Experience" type thing, but I can't find any North West locations.
Triple awesome
