Just got back last night from yet another trip out with the boys this time a seven day bash across Eastern Germany and Poland. We had asked the Polish AF if we could be included on the Press Tours they were running this year and were accepted on the October tour so plans were made to drive out to Poland do the Base Press Tours and some "Wrecks and Relics" en-route, Having nothing back from the Polish AF HQ until a week before we were due to depart we rang the AF HQ in Warsaw and they told us they had lost our details and could not get us on the tours because it takes a week to ten days to run out detail thought their security channels. Not a good start to things as all three of us have booked time off work and were ready to go, An alternative plan was made to go anyway and do a few active bases and a lot of Wreck and Relics and generally just have a week out spotting etc. The name for the trip will come out later in the log, Our trip started last Sunday morning at 06-00 when we picked Andy and my self up in York and we departed South, The first aircraft we saw was from the A1 at Doncaster
