Shuttleworth American Air Display on the 4th of July!

Well its Independence Day but we wont hold that against our American cousins if it brings the sun out! It was good to see Old Warden bathed glorious weather after the last few cloudy displays

Even the Apprentice was happy

The vehicle parade included old and new riders, I’ll leave you to guess who is the fittest, but the chap in yellow had just cycled from Milton Keynes to get there

Then the American aircraft joined in, I called it the Art Deco Airshow. And very good it was too.
Starting with the T6

Love the top shot of the Lysander. It looks like the only way you could have got any closer would have been to climb in with him.

Then a superbly choreographed formation of Lysander, Gladiator and Hind.

Finally, after the display had finished these guys came and said hello. They got a good round of applause and were most welcome. We all know what they are training for and out best wishes go with them.
