Hi all

I also attended the Ceremony at CAM. I arrived at 1:00..and proceeded to the static display. I picked an excellent spot and waited and waited untill 3:00..Potters fired the Spit up..which took a few tries to fire(sounded great)..lot's of fuel and flame and she was off.. I was told that Potter would hold at the runway to give people a chance to see the take off and display..hummm I just managed to get the flight line when he was already airborne..the crowds were abit heavy (three to four deep is about right) so pictures were no going to happen for me. I should have taken the far left viewing area but It was all over pretty fast and the staff were alittle over whemed by the numbers..still I did have the best view for the start up and I did get some fine HQ photo of the Spit in static..maybe I will get some better ones in flight at CARP...
