This was one of the first to land. There are now two of these little beauties painted in the classic scheme based on the airfield. I missed G-IOOP which landed later after I'd left for home.
Here's one of the many airliners on the way into Gatwick.
Next up, a couple of visitors from Omag's part of the world.
Another visitor, a nice Socata TB10 Tobago. These are becoming very popular.
Another regular. Not sure where it's based.
One of the local Bulldogs. Very smart.
One of two Rockwell Commander 114 to arrive. This range of aircraft was designed by the late Grahame Gates who worked at Shoreham from late 1951 to early 1962 for George Miles' as Chief Project Engineer, & later at Beagle aircraft until joining Piper Aircraft in late 1964.
Now for the piece de resistance. This pretty little Jodel was accompanied by a very rare bird.
The sole surviving Percival Vega Gull. A rare opportunity but unfortunately the weather was rapidly deteriorating & the sun went behind a cloud as he arrived. Sod's Law.
Another local Yak. First time I've seen it close up. I spotted this chap taking off earlier & waited for him to land before heading for home. All in all a very nice day out.
:P ;D
