Just got home at Midnight on Sunday after a very early 4am start to
catch the connecting flight out of Fort Wayne to Chicago. The freeways
are certainly quiet that time of morning!

Very misty as well, just like an autumn morning in the UK, we kept
hitting thick patches at speed which was a bit of a nuisance, but we
got to the airport on good order, and had time for a coffee and cake
at Chicago before boarding the 777 for London.

We have an enormous amount of photographs to edit and post to our
website, but that will have to wait for the latter end of this coming
week as we have a busy end of month and a big job to test and deliver
at the factory.
