A sad but great day 😉 😉 Anna 😉
Totally agree. The way that OW by and large became totally silent was a great tribute to Steve – the silent very pistol was an unexpected touch!
It was my first time to meet many of the forumites, thanks for the welcome.
The heroes of the day though for me were the OW pilots flying, in particular, the Avro Triplane, Cygnet and WW1 types. I seriously never expected them to fly in the gusty and turbulent conditions of the afternoon. It was a truly awesome display of airmanship.
Even at 6pm, I was like a one-armed wallpaper hanger in the turbulence all the way back to Bicester!

You could have heard a pin drop at 14.00hrs.

I’m surprised that the certain Sea Fury pilot didn’t break his neck running back from the bog! 😉 😀
Great shots Stewart, I’m pleased you had a great day. 😉

Stewart
hopefully you’ll make a return visit soon.
I loved the Sea Fury display flown by Commander Paul Stone RN.
Another Sea Fury pilot and his family standing close by became quite animated at that point in the display.
Good Day.
Cheers
Andy
