Breighton Airfield Summer Fly/Drive-In & 2nd International Bucker Fest – July 18/19th

It was windy when we arrived, which made setting up the tent challenging, but as usual, there was a great sun set and a nice warm light on the Friday evening allowing some nice pictures of the Jeep around the site and next to original wartime buildings. The wind didn’t ease much the following day which reduced the numbers compared to past years, but there were still eleven Bucker aircraft at the event, including one Jungmann flown over from Germany. There were a good turnout of classic cars on Saturday, but ours was the only military vehicle. The Saturday evening dance was well supported, and there was another nice sun set as a backdrop for the Auster and Broussard. Sunday was more windy and dull, and visiting aircraft numbers dropped again, as did the classic cars with only a few turning up for the second day. While the weather was disappointing, we still had an enjoyable weekend relaxing and watching the aviating.
