As the wife bangs and crashes her way through the production of today's gastronomic challenge, the kids have ensconced themselves in their child-caves to battle with the video games. I sit here having donned my ear defenders (the wife is singing), supping my christmas pressie from santa - two crates of beer. Windswept no less and produced less than 400m from where I sit. Yummy.

So what did you get? Anything connected with aviation? Go on, you know you want to tell...........

Opened what i though was a new joystick for my PC, but turned out to be my old joystick box with 4 cans of beer inside! hahaha. Had 2 add ons for flight simulator, F-4 Phantom and F/A-18C, oh yeah and i finally did get a joystick!!!

Merry Christmas!

I got my usual Vulcan to the skys calendar and desk calendar I also got a Red Arrow DVD and book set as well as a Red Arrow notepad.

Well I am very lucky this year!! Canon EOS 1100D camera with 18-55 and 75-300 lenses and bag. Also got an iPad dock and a few books, including a brilliant one on the Royal Air Force given to me by my Great Uncle, who "indoctrinated" me into aviation . Also got the traditional bits of clothing

Got quite a few things today. Liked all of them lots

I got a 1/32 airfix spitfire MK VB, a 1/32 tiger moth, red arrows box set, a great book on the stories of pilots in world war 2, and a 35mm prime lens! A brilliant day!

My wife never fails. This year I got 12 months subscription for AFM. However it was my youngest son that surprised me the most, he had found and bought me 5 old "commando" comics dating back to the 70's. Took me right back to when I was a spotty little kid... Brilliant

Did very well this year, aviation related pressies included the Anigrand 1/72 Sentinel and a book about the Alize.
Non aviation highlight was a bottle of my fave aftershave.

I got a few aviation related pressies like aTop gun mug and a Flypast mag, I mainly got car cleaning stuff though which i've been putting to good use today
