Mark (the Blade)
Chambers
Update - Sonex sold down south and he is now flying G-XWEB a
Skyranger with Alan. He also plays a mean air guitar
while flying with Alan... however his sense of Rhythm is better than
his sense of direction! |

latest police most wanted narrative.... watch this space for updates
and in the meantime DO NOT APPROACH THIS MAN... |

Paul the mod it man...
Paul, nearest the camera, used
to fly flex wings before building his lovely Ranger. The passenger
is Graham the vet, which just goes to prove you can take the ranger
out of the boy but you cant take the boy out of of a ranger...
