Apart from Charlie's 'tin cans' spoiling the effect this could have been taken at any time from the 1930s to the 60s when I first worked at the airport. Happy memories.
Mark Jeffries' smart Laser 200 which he built himself. I didn't know what it was when I took the shot.
TD248 in its new paint scheme. Used to be red & silver. Didn't recognise it at first. Very smart but I think I prefer the old colours. :-/
Relaxing in the sunshine before the rush starts.
Ah, here's Haurel & Lardy. Shame I couldn't have got a better shot as they're very good & made me laugh out loud with their typical stupid antics. Apparently the Model T is the original one used in the films.
Had to visit my old friend Jim Pearce while it was quiet to see what he's up to. He told me the Fw 189 is comiing along nicely. Most of the parts are ready for the riveting team to get to work. Any skilled riveters out there?
I got this after the show. The little girl has a full flying suit just like her dad. He was taking her round all the static aircraft, sitting her in & showing her the controls. Nothing like starting them young.
A lovely little lady & obviously an old hand. Her face is painted which makes her look funny. Shame I couldn't get one when she was in the Chipmunk but you would only see the top of her head.
Ah well, time to go home now. Next year seems a long way away. Hope you enjoyed this little look behind the scenes.
