fancied a little trip out which I had planned for Saturday but fell through .still did manage to do kirkbride,Carlisle,glassonby,cark,Manchester and barton. the weather was crap wall to wall fog with the odd blue patch now and then .whilst at Carlisle I took the opportunity to go to the museum must say it is worth a visit

aircraft outside were...

Bob,

Went to Carlilse last year but did not have a good look at the Museum- need a few out of the ones being restored- I am heading that way in July to see the open golf so I may pay a visit and hopefully see Stephanie so I can get around the restoration area.

Happy Days
