Just a quick hello from sunny but, bloody cold Orlando.

No prizes for guessing where we went today!
Endeavour was rolled out to the launch pad this morning and we saw it just after she had arrived.

Hope everything is well
Deeno

P.S. Hows the cricket?

Great shots Deeno, especially the SaturnV and the command/service module - very cool.

I'm very jealous:P

Are you planning to visit the Smithsonian? Love to see a pic of the Bell X-1 and X15.

Cheers, Norm

Sorry Norm, need to back up a bit. Already been to Washington. Lost half a day there due to our bus from New York brokedown twice!!! Which only left us with one full day, so it was only a flying visit to the Smithsonian. Could have spent all day there but........

Anywho, here's a couple of snaps of the widefield camera that was replaced with a new one in Hubble last year. Note the meteor strike in the external radiator
