Cockpit Rigs – “cockpits in waiting” i.e. more than an instrument panels but not yet a cockpit: Seafire, Hornet F.1 *; and P.51
Special visitor – Auster V TJ398: A veteran of WWII. This is a complete aircraft, and is therefore over qualified to be a cockpit section, but never less a very welcome visitor to this event. This warbird, although a non-flyer, is a rare visitor to this area; take the opportunity to get up close to a rare type, make the most of it during this weekend”.
