Due to the cloud and rain, not the ideal of conditions to photograph and fly in and many of the arrivals had postponed until tomorrow. The 2 Hawks arrived during a rain storm and after a couple of passes flew off, possibly to Cambridge for the longer runway. The Chinook flew in during the morning as did the Grace Spitfire. The Gladiator made a brief appearance outside as the Hawk was extracted from the TFC hanger so Stephen Grey could go flying. A very good display it was to considering the conditions.
I finally got a Sony eye piece adapter for my Zigview so a few different angles here achieved by not lying prone on the ground.

Some lovely shots there. The Blenheim looks to be progressing nicely, she’s been sadly missed these last few years. Nice to see the Gladiator back in inter war colours.
