PA474 Blyton,Saturday 25th september.

Just got back from 2 days of excellent motorsport at Blyton,and another little event which took place yesterday.

At about 12.20pm,15 minutes ahead of the planned time,,PA474 made it’s presence known to all and sundry,on a rather blustery afternoon.

She approached from the south west,and at first banked around left about 3 miles from the airfield.I thought there was something wrong at first,but a few minutes later,she loomed rather large,about a mile away,heading in our direction.At the moment of the first passing over,we had a race in progress,of highly modified cars,but the Merlins could be heard above all that.

She flew over,and then banked rather steeply to the left,and re-approached.After passing over for the second time,once again,she banked over,and we were treated to a 3rd flypast,from which she went on her way to Grimsby.

I was stood amongst a group of spectators in my official club capacity,and they all said that it was a most wonderful spectacle,as did other people from within my club,who knew I had organised it.I personally,was very moved by the experience.
