Yeah, who would have ever thought we'd see the day when a Tiger Moth was described as being “too modern” amongst the rest of the aeroplanes, eh?
They're planning to fly today and tomorrow, but the weather is forecast to deteriorate later this afternoon, then clear up again early tomorrow morning, so fingers crossed.
I'll only be around until mid-afternoon, then I've got to gap-it and head off to Wellington for the rest of the weekend.
But I'll be back at Hood on 23rd and 24th November when TVAL hold their next flying weekend.
And with that, I'm going offline to grab a couple of cameras with suitable lenses, then I'll head out onto the airfield to my favourite spot for photography. That's what I like about Hood … security isn't over the top and so long as you make yourself visible and don't do anything stupid, they don't tend to mind you wandering around the airport in the operational areas.
