The Charity Flying Day was superb. I would especially like to thank Lee for initially giving a heads-up to forum members concerning the date and for helping sort out a communications problem. I was determined not to miss this year’s (having missed last year’s due to my attending a “Shaddows” concert on the same day – just too far apart to do both).
A shame that the high winds elsewhere socked-in a few aircraft scheduled to attend, but I was delighted to be able to sample a flight in the Broussard. A bonus was meeting T6flyer and using his handy beer crate – far superior to airline steps!
The line-up of pairs of Sea Hawks, Sea Furies and Seafires was worth the trip in its own right – it was thoughtfully presented and the whole event was an enriching day. Met some very interesting folk – where else could you have a chat with an ex commanding officer of the Ark Royal, a Seafire display pilot and many others whose aviation and life experiences would fill several books!
Roll on next year – here’s hoping for another fundraising event.
Thanks to all who made it happen.
