I managed to get lineside as well as attend the gala with a ticket during the 3 days. Well organized with thorough COVID-19 precautions - a great way to see what can be achieved with restrictions. Here are just a few of my shots (Note: if you...

Johnme101 liked Bugler_John's post in the thread Sandringham New Build(s).
