The Dragon Rapides.
TX310 was busy for much of the day earning her keep giving pleasure rides from a boarding point set back into the crowed line. This area was created using standard removable barrier fencing which allowed a good view although slightly further from the runway and display line.

In the Restoration/maintenance hanger was G-AGTM named Sybille after the sad death of Sybille Gautrey, a volunteer pilot with Air Atlantique, http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/aviation/9594174/Five-killed-after-air-traffic-controllers-misunderstood-aircraft-jargon.html. TM had both engines removed.

Rob68 I can’t answer that but maybe the radio problem returned.
The Meteor night fighter WM167 and the Vampire XJ771 took off in close succession and put on a joint display. This was followed by a solo display by the Meteor and then, as Rob68 says, a short display by the Vampire before they both returned to the flight line. I will be posting flight line pictures in the “CAF visit” thread in Historic.
