North Weald:Air Britain Fly-In 10-6-12

After the strong winds restricted visitor numbers yesterday, it was great to get a calm and bright Sunday. Around 60 aircraft flew in, and as usual there was strong support for the event from the wide variety of based machines. As usual, credit for the event belongs to the volunteers from Air Britain, especially the Stansted Branch team, led by Phil Kemp.

Locals first:
