For anyone in the vicinity of mid-Herts, this increasingly popular event takes place this Sunday. A jazz band, dancing, Bar-B-Q and mini-Olympics. Oh, and also plenty of old and interesting cars, old and interesting aircraft, and taster flights. Weather looks like it might play ball here in the South East.

I went along to the Revival Day. Found a fairly interesting video of some of the aircraft on YouTube. Looks like a great day had by all!

It’s also worth pointing out that there was a vintage aircraft fly-in and classic bike show at Popham on the same day, so there were three venues to choose from.
Thanks for these Regal, an interesting array of types. That device on the Stearman has me stumped too…

A few more from Sunday. Can anyone tell me what the device is on the port cowling of G-AWLO – could it be a smoke generator ?

Point taken, Low’n’Slow. To my mind the airfield operator has always seemed a bit slow to capitalise upon the goodwill in the local community to attract more people (therefore extra revenue) to this field. Hardly anything appears in the local press (or aviation press, it has to be said) about upcoming events, and I only know because I receive the club newsletter. At the moment they have the cheapest GA fuel in the U.K., a useful selling strategy towards flyers if I’m not mistaken.
A few more pics to follow.

Sadly, while Sywell might have had some effect, I suspect that fact that it wasn’t as well promoted to aircraft owners as previously, might have also been a reason.
Neither I, nor some others who flew in last year, were made aware of the date this time.
Hey ho, next year perhaps……

A few pics from Sundays well-attended event, although the number of visiting aircraft was slightly down on last year, perhaps due to the clash of dates with Sywell.
There would have been more pics except I was fiddling about with my new DSLR and managed to forget the basics.
