Sunday looked glorious from the photos, if blustery, but sadly Monday was a total washout with torrential rain, a waterlogged airfield and about a 400′ cloudbase. I think the only thing flying was our Historic Aircraft Association tent, as we tried to fold it away!

Sadly the gusting winds across the UK also precluded a lot of the vintage light aircraft which were due to attend on one of both days. 🙁

The last I saw of the OFMC Mustang and Spitfire, they were tucked in a nice dry hangar, and along with the Prince, were hoping that the runways have dried sufficiently to allow them to return to their respective bases today.

A great pity, for an event which has the potential of taking over from G-VFWE as a ‘must do’ event. Hopefully Goodwood will be more lucky with the weather next year.
