    The last time I saw an O2 in action was in December 1966 so I thought it was about time I made amends by booking on Martin's charter yesterday. Perfect weather all day was a welcome bonus

    No I do not currently volunteer
    The weather was awful today, very misty then heavy rain. Today’s charter finished early because of the weather.
