Breighton 4th Sept

Mew Gull and Active were out on the flightline all day. Although they did not perform this time, both displayed at the July Fly in.

Sorry to be pedantic, but the Active here (G-ABVE) is actually the Arrow Active II (although according to the CAA register, it’s CoA expired on the 19th November last year). It was first registered on 19th March 1932… so not doing badly for a 74-year old!

Incidently, the “48” on the tail was its number in the 1933 Kings Cup Air Race!

The only Arrow Active I (G-ABIX) was destroyed in an accident late in 1935. As far as I am aware, there are no photographs of the Mk I in existance.

Thanks they look great still and nice to see the personalised chocks i made are still being used 🙂

I saw the mewgull parked outside but it didn’t fly in the time I was there. As for the Arrow Active I couldnt see any sign of it, maybe hidden away in a hangar?

Great pictures but was there any sign of the Mewgull or Arrow Active?

Like I’ve said before, great pics Gareth 😀

I love the atmosphere at Breighton 🙂

Well said 😀

Super pictures Gareth! I was there on the Sunday and really enjoyed the event – I love the atmosphere at Breighton 🙂

cheers everyone, Buchon did indeed look superb taxiing with the Hurricane. Septic – Breighton is well worth the trip, first time I attended was last year, not missed one of their fly ins this year! 🙂

Great shots Gareth, I must make the trip up to Breighton next year.

Septic.

That Buchon/Hurricane shot is such a teaser! 😉
