A few more. John, thanks for your kind words yours are perfectly fine so dont do yourself down.
Haircut sir!
Did I mention the C-47 display was rather good.
And that was it. The wind and ground conditions put paid to any more flying. It just leaves me to thank all the staff, volunteers, engineers, kitchen staff, ground crews, Air Traffickers, vehicle drivers, parking staff, pay booth staff oh and pilots (just kidding), for all their hard work this year. Its been a privilege to work with all of you this year.
As I left I stopped opposite the airfield and too a couple of pictures. As I did so the resident Buzzards flew over from the copse and took a look at what I was doing, calling to each other as they did so.
That summed it all up for me, Old Warden is simply magical.
Collective noun for a tractor load of Engineers? A Drench!

The Ryan pair did superbly well considering the conditions, not surprisingly flying a tail chase rather than a formation.
First visiting act was the Nanchang CJ6, I presume the marking means the bird lost!
The Blackburn B2 flew an aerobatic display
Followed by the Tiger Moth and Chipmunk Barnstornimg
The ground crew had their work cut out walking the aircraft back with the wind at their backs
There was a slight gap in proceedings before the final act turned up. The local Kestrel took the opportunity to take centre stage. At least someone enjoyed the wind!
Finally, Peter Teichman rounded of the Display Season in fine style in the P51. Stonking!
The man himself
