Hi TJ

Great shots of the heroic Vimy and her pilots.

From the grandstand it did not look to me like it was only the wind that contributed to the vimy’s misfortunes as shortly afterwards the sky was full of a multitude of replica First World War aircraft doing ‘dogfights’ all over the Farnborough skies, but of course they did not take off or land at Farnborough.

For the sake of the pilot of the Vimy I am glad he/she stayed on tera firma that day. And as you rightly say avoided ploughing into the crowd.

I just found these 3 (maybe more) YouTube URLS of the Vimy in trouble –

I am sure we shall see it safely airborne in the near future.
