Hi Phil,

no, the smoke deflectors don't bother me at all.
I unfortunately missed Tornado on the NYMR - it was packed out there 
from what I've seen.

I also missed seeing 3 A4s in the yard at Grosmont - Union of South 
Africa, Bittern and Nigel - that must have been a wonderful sight

Cheers
Douglas
