The 2016 fly-in was a great weekend, with sunny weather, warm winds and loads of flying. As usual, we arrived on Friday evening, set up the tent and took “Jessie the Jeep” for a drive around the airfield. The good weather brought plenty of visitors, both aircraft and Real Aeroplane Club members.
Here’s just a small selection of the 450+ pictures taken over the weekend.

The highlight of the weekend for me was getting to fly the Ryan PT-22. Having had a long interest in the U.S. 8th Army Air Force, it was a fantastic experience to fly in the 1942 built, Ryan PT-22 Recruit. I was only expecting a short flight around as a passenger, but it was a great thrill to fly the aircraft myself, and then for my first landing in any aircraft, to be a WW2 era trainer.
and lastly with a little photoshopping!

These two Austers and the Bestmann were all rebuilt to airworthiness by Tony Brier. Sunday morning was the first time all three aircraft had been seen together.
