Fire28,

I will be posting some pic's here soon, but otherwise you could check out my Flickr account
( https://www.flickr.com/photos/charlesdover/ ) where I have just posted a few pic's for you
to get an idea. You do have different venues, but I stayed at one spot for about two hours.

Regards,
Charles

Unlike the last few years, this year there will be no US Navy training deployment at IFP unfortunately.
