It was the second CWJ day I have been to, but the first where I had been purely up to Bruntingthorpe to watch and not involved with trying to fix something or sort items out for XX741. Tony has good points about the entry from the static line to the runway (people pushing in to get the shot) and the embankment. But of course it is the type of event where some people struggle to show any common sense (perhaps me included as I never put the deffs on once, I’m a professional LAE and always do at work!) Some teams did show up better than others, because those that know the set up there know it is a wide range of different people that own and maintain the runners. One hopes that ZA326 will become an active runner sooner that later, of course the frame needs certain major components to be sourced and that a certain other ripple project may pickup again. Of course there is also the F4, but that is a long way in the future. One of my favourite shots, of the team there that I have the most contact with.. Victor Sim flat packing some TBAGers.

The large model association displays were brilliant as well as Millies low flypasts.
