Compton Abbas Vintage Fly In 06-08-2016

This was quite a pleasant day out and my first time at this airfield situated at the top of a range of picturesque hills some three miles from Shaftesbury in Dorset

My journey too a little longer than expected owing to heavier than normal traffic. Also, when I went down the A303 past Boscombe Down, the other side of the roundabout was chockablock with vehicles no doubt struggling to get past Stonehenge ( that place where it takes longer to build a tunnel than to build a neolithic structure) so I detoured.

Anyway, back to Compton Abbas. The restaurant was packed out so I went without a breakfast.

Next time get there earlier.

On a few of the pictures, Shaftesbury can be seen in the background.

Thanks for looking
