I have just found our next project for DSC.  :twisted:....

Wow that is one serious RC Jet.

Though I think that standing behind it whilst it takes off is unbelievably stupid. Those engines are firing backwards whatever gets sucked into the front at several hundred miles an hour.

Good project - useful for de-icing at Deep Freeze Camp.

Unless it is dangerous to get there and back I will be going.

I have emailed Phil at the farm to let me know what the conditions are like and to ensure that all of the facilities are still working.

Too cold for me I'm afraid.

I'll be there making snow angels......................after some of that weird french stuff, and a couple of brandies.   :-?

Anyway, I need to try out the 5 heaters in the tent, to see which one to use when the weather gets really bad.

I'll be at deep freeze sky camp unless travelling is dangerous and I'll bring a bottle of weird French stuff.   Wunderground says it will be much warmer, with temperatures reaching an incredible 7C on Saturday.

I will be there if it looks like I can get there without writing off the car and there is a small chance of seeing stars without the aid of the 'weird french stuff'.

Nearly T-Shirt weather, do we need to bring any ice...

PS I'd like to turn up but it depends on the chance of a clear sky, will decide later in the week.
