Location is still Florennes, or?

By the way, it's Gripen, one p, it's a long i, like 'riepen' in Dutch, or 'creepy' in English. The Swedish don't do double vowels, but they do have ä, ö, ü which are long. I suppose because of Viggen, many people pronounce Gripen with a short i and then come up with Grippen. Or they do know it's a long i, and start spelling it like Grypen.

Hey Niels,

Have removed on P from "Grippen", and thanks for the explanation  ;)

The location is still Florennes, also this year again, thank god.....
The first session was at Kinloss this year, the second one is cancelled
till further notice. And the last four sessions are at Florennes. I will
take every chance to photograph over there. Due the fact plans are
already in place that the TLP will move mid 2009 to Albacete, Spain.

Regards, Ramon  ;D
