The 2013 Air Britain Fly-In was (true to tradition) rather subdued by wind and rain, but was still a great success. Organised by the Stansted Branch of Air Britain and hosted by The Squadron, the event featured a lot of activity from based and visiting warbirds.
Longest journey to the Fly-In was by this Swiss Mooney M20E:
Perhaps the shortest trip (from Stapleford) was by this ex Botswana Bulldog:
The Hangar 11 collection was very busy:
The based Skyraider was engine running both days:
The RNHF Sea Fury T.20 arrived from Manston on Saturday and returned to Yeovilton on Sunday:
Jet Provost T.5 G-BWOF:
Bell UH-IH G-HUEY:

Thanks Dave. Good to see that some Mooneys turned up to support Air Britain. I don’t suppose the crosswind worried the Bulldog as I read somewhere that they can take up to a 35kt crosswind.

Good stuff. I had hoped to fly in but the grandkids arrived. Any more photographs of the visiting stuff please?

great shots guys. David, are the aircraft in the background of your first photo airworthy….
Sadly, no. A DC-4 and a C-54, both unflown since arrival for a film project in September 2002

Spending a couple of hours at North Weald on Sunday morning was the Dutch based B-25 PH-XXV on the way home from Manston. The arrival was spectacular, the departure more so. Pity about the banana!
