    Welcome to the family Jamie! I know Darlington airport well! I say that, because the first Sat Nav I owned always took me to Darlington Airport! absolutely no reason at all, no matter where I wanted to go, it wanted to go there! (it must have been telling me something!)

    At that time I was a monkey hanger, but have moved south to ventures new!
