A splendid compilation, thanks Nick, with plenty of familiar sights and sounds together with a number of events I didn't get to see, all in excellent quality. I like your dual-view transition technique, e.g. Bluebell at Kingscote and UoSA approaching Horsted Keynes. My favourite shot: the Q banking the O1 even if they were both running tender first! Kind regards, Bob.

Yes, it has been a good year and I think 2019 promises to be another vintage year. Nick.
