Super day at Turweston for the V.A.C fly-in today. Here are some of the snaps I took. (Does anyone know how to attach or insert more than one picture to a posting?)
This one is the Davis DA2.
Second post, Barry Plumb BP1 biplane.
Third post, Baby Great Lakes.
Fourth post, Thruxton Jakaroo.

Lousy day today so thought I’d experiment further with posting multiple images. All these were snapped at Turweston with a less expensive Kodak DC215 ZOOM digital camera.

Here’s one.
Steve, yes the Baby Great Lakes is tiny. First time I saw one was at Sleap back in the 80’s and it stuck in my mind that it must be the smallest practical biplane.

I was also there – very good day with some fascinating aircraft that rarely make it down to my local airfield (Popham) – although some did on sunday though.
Particular favs of mine were the Miles Falcon (G-AEEG) and BA Eagle 2 (G-AFAX) both in imaculate condition.
I would post pictures of these but they are not yet on jetphotos

Didn’t think I’d ever see a smaller biplane than Barry’s BP1…..until I saw Baby Great Lakes sitting alongside!

Hi EwenT
I was at Turweston and was amazed by the small size of that Baby Great Lakes too. I adidn’t arrive until about 1245 so most aircraft had already arrived by the time I got there. Good day though.
Just need extra staff in the cafe to reduce that queue though.
Good pics.
Neal;)

Ken Broomfield flew the Thruxton Jakaroo down from Baxterley. Is this the only one flying in the UK at the moment?

Baby Great Lakes. Is this the smallest biplane?
