Thread: Doncaster 2019. The story.

  1. #1

    Default Doncaster 2019. The story.

    I am sure everybody has his/her stories of Doncaster 2019 to tell.
    It was an unforgetable event we all will surely remember.
    Meeting old and new friends, even a so called reunion fueled us with new positive vibes, I suppose.
    Let's start with the main story. Air Marshall, take the floor, please!

    Great picture of the Rogues Gallery! Many I recognize - it would be nice to edit and 'left-to-right' those in the pic to make sure who's who...

    The smiles, I hope, indicate that everyone had a wonderful time

    All the best,

    I recorded some more (many!) pics of games and HD footage of some spectacular speeches of the Air Marshall and WingCo on my smartphone. They shall be uploaded to my google drive in a matter of days and available for download by a link.
    My question is: should I post the download link to the google drive HERE in this thread or should I send the link to those of you who send me an email (nightbomber.as@gmail.com).
    WingCo Chris Hedeby - I need your piece of advice.
    I will not post them anywhere else on any other social platform, be sure of that.

    Bought too many; had to offload 'em somewhere!

    Thanks very much for posting the team photo/police mugshot gallery............

    I had an awesomely good time, and will endeavour to post details/pictures/AARs when time permits.
    Am so glad to hear that folks returned home without incident - I look forward to seeing you all again, either within these shores or in Prague.

    Movies are in .mp4 format among others.
    Hope the link works. Click & enjoy.
