For once the weather played ball and was blue skies and sunny all day!

Thanks to all those who attended. Even though we had to make a decision to close the grass runway on Friday due to standing water we had 40+ visiting aircraft and 800+ visitors on the day. The two aero displays were excellent and it was very interesting to see the difference in display between Gena in the Yak-52 and Mark in his Extra330 from a spectators viewpoint.

One lucky pilot went away with a Garmin GPS296 for a £5 raffle ticket, and someone else managed to get the Av80R for a good price in the auction.

An excellent collection of classic cars added to the event.

The Air Ambulance was called out a few times during the day and although we do not have the final figure we would expect to have raised about £2.5K in donations for this very worthwhile cause.

Now for next year....
