    Subject: Re: new camera mount- version 3
    Hi Larry, welcome back. Glad that your operation is sorting itself out more quickly than expected. Your camera mount seems perfect. It even dealt with the vibration when you were on the ground. Wx in the UK has been pretty good. In the south we have had not winter yet although Scotland and the North of England have had some snow. Nothing that persisted beyond a couple of days. Overcast and rain today but we have had several long periods of nil wind and good flying weather with a large high pressure area over us. No flying for me any more I am afraid although i am trying to convince myself that my bank book would stand a half hour flight in a Spitfire. I flew a Mustang for an hour in Kissimmee many years ago and I have managed to get into a couple of T6`s and a couple of jets over the years and I would dearly love to add the Spitfire. Heigh Ho. Pat
