Fou d'Ailes, Cholet, 22 September

As ever, the town of Cholet staged an excellent day including a four hour flying programme and a huge military encampment re-enactment. And the cost of partaking of this entertainment? Rien du tout!

Last two. I was rather pleased to get the DC-3 and the art deco terminal building in the same frame.

The photographs indicate the sort of weather there was yesterday – one moment blue sky and sunshine and then, five minutes later, huge black clouds and torrential rain. Add to that a wind gusting strongly and without remission throughout the day and one hadn’t an easy day for either flying or photography.
