My blog nick-name is SIR HUGH. I'm not from the aristocracy - my middle name is Hugh which relates to the list of 282 hills in Scotland compiled by Sir Hugh Munro in 1891. I climbed my last one (Sgurr Mor) on 28th June 2009

    It is sad but true.
    Thanks for the tea and cake.

    I think my attempt at posting a comment has vanished into the ether, so....

    That's very impressive Conrad, to echo Martin's comment, you can be justly proud of that.

    The sight of a Gloster Meteor brings back uncomfortable memories of the Cuban Missile Crisis. I remember my mother, very worried about what the future might hold, trying to explain to me what was going in the world, when (I'm pretty certain) a Gloster Meteor flew by. It was my first sight of a military aircraft in 'real life' - such things weren't seen flying over Urmston. To a spotty little boy it was quite a sight. I pointed it out to Mum, it just added to her anxiety.

    JJ - Sorry to bring back uncomfortable memories. I have an acquaintance here in Arnside who was a career RAF pilot. When he first qualified on the Meteor he told me he did a fly past over Arnside dipping his wings.

    I referred to the cake - wonderful.
    And I referred to the mountain man playing with plastic models. Of course, as you know, no offence was inferred.
