Hello, I came across this the other day so I scanned it. I vaguely remember it. However, I can't find the date it actually took place. I don't suppose anyone remembers this particular party in Shrewley Crescent and the date it took place? Many thanks, Gary

Yup, I'm in reminisce mode today. When I was thinking about my plane spotting days, we used to sit on top of an old pill box and plane spot. They were great although the authorities weren't too happy (but turned a blind eye). I think you could even get inside them. I believe there were a few of...
