  1. Would anarchy descend if they turned the lights off in this carriage so we could see the dying embers of the sunset?
  2. On the way to Bath on the Heart of Wessex line. The countryside is beautiful, the train shockingly filthy.
  3. Lunch overlooking Clifton suspension bridge. What a magnificent folly; a bridge to nowhere.
  4. Just heard some of Rob's first mixes of the new album at Aubitt. This is it; this is the one.
  5. Rob Aubrey, Engineer of Prog, is 46 today.
  6. The Vulcan: holy shit!
  7. Side-on, they look almost as beautiful. Then, from underneath, you see the outline of the eliptical wings...
  8. Mustang and Spitfire in close formation.
  9. No matter how many times you see the Red Arrows, they are never anything less than utterly and completely brilliant.
  10. Why do the PA systems at air shows always sound like they were built in 1940?
  11. Flying Fortress. Not as impressive as the Lancaster, obviously.
  12. The Chinook is bloody amazing - like a double-decker bus doing ballet.
  13. Bournemouth Air: on the beach under a glorious summer sky, being buzzed by a Hawker Hurricane.
  14. ...the blanket on which I used to hold my bacchanalian picnics will now be used to keep my knees warm.
  15. I have joined the National Trust. A lifetime of escorted visits around stately homes beckons.
  16. Bacon sandwich, double espresso, Classic Prog issue 3. Bliss.
  17. Standing on footplate of Evening Star with my son. It's bringing out the inner Engine Driver in both of us.
  18. In Swindon, home of XTC, GWR, and a shopping outlet for girlfriend.
  19. Still waiting. Been a long day. I have Pre-Mix Tension. Had to go for a run.
  20. Waiting impatiently for a rough mix of the whole album to arrive. First time I'll have heard all of the tracks together and in album order.
