    The Fairyhouse pics were eighties. They look like some of my photos. Either I'm your Dad or he was the clumsy guy who bumped into me everytime I tried to take a photo:D

    Did he tell you how close the F4 came to the commentary box. They actually ducked when he passed them and they commented on feeling the heat from the engines. :eek:Definitely up close and personal!
