A few shots from the Shuttleworth Military Pageant held on August 2nd. At last we got some summer weather.

Lovely photos as usual.
I think the pilot in the glider was brave. It reminds me of kid on a tricycle being towed by a bicycle.
Thanks

The Vacher Hurricane made a welcome return visit

Dangling in the Dagling (can one say “in” when talking about this aircraft?)
Finally, after a short gap to allow the wind to drop the Edwardians came out, its been a while since they were flown and we were treated to some superb flying in almost perfect conditions.
From Lightning to Mosquito to Comet Racer to… well you get the idea! George Ellis gets the “hammer down” in his pursuit of the Boxkite! Thanks George
