A Roll of Drums, a Fanfare of Trumpets and draft vallium all round.
Sources close to Whitehall inform me that it is time to oil the letterbox, clean the "Beware of the Dog" sign on the front gate in anticipation of a visit from the postman, and book the next few days in the "Reading Room", if you get my delicate drift because......wait for it....wait for it.....

The RFA Association Calendar for 2014 is now available and you can download it from this page. It has been produced in three variants, Month to a view organiser, Month to a view and two months to a view. You can download them and distribute them as you wish. There is no charge for this however and as always a donation to the RFAA would, as ever, be appreciated. Easiest way to donate is via Paypal to sales@rfa-association.org.uk and you don't have to be a member of the Association to stick your hand in your pocket. My thanks to Captain Shaun Jones,George Mortimore and Dave Gerrard for the photographs.

For some considerable time now I have been wittering on about closing down the email addresses (blah@rfa-association.org) remnants of the old website. I do check the old addresses for email quite regularly and this morning in one of those old addresses had 150 (I kid you not), 150 Spam emails lurking there in the last 24 hours. Some of the others were not a lot better SO they all have to go.
I will be closing them down on 30 November 2013 REGARDLESS
