UPDATE 3

If it’s Sunday afternoon, then it must be the Charity Photo Call. For a static event, there were a lot of aircraft movements.

First up was the Dornier 228, which did a fly past once airborne. This was followed by the Dutch Gulfstream, which didn’t do a fly past. A rather nice looking SIAI-Marchetti trailed a bit of smoke when it took off but not on its fly past. The Hercules and Chipmunk fired up and the Chippie was first out. I don’t think anyone saw its fly past as they were all watching the MC-130H. A Martin-Baker King Air followed the Hercules out and held on the active runway when the MC-130H did a neat, steep climb out. It did a high circuit and then came back with its wheels down for two more passes.

Many thanks to Phil and Lee, and everyone else I met, for a tiring but thoroughly enjoyable weekend.
