It was a good day, even though the blustery weather meant that there were few arrivals by air - 3 Austers made it.

Clive Denney arrived overhead in a Hurricane promptly at 11:00 in time to fly over the Memorial Service , landed and parked in a revetment, where a group of people, dressed in the appropriate 1940 RAF uniforms, were sitting.

I met Aerbabe + Mr & Mrs Aerbabe senior, they declined my offer to let them wash the Koli, and Rallye_Driver. While we where sitting having a drink, two Mustangs joined over head and landed - Aerbabe was doing a fair impersonation of a pogo stick before burning shoe rubber across the taxiway to gawp at them

AB - do you recognise the phrase "Excuse me - get out of my way?"

The RAF pilots kindly showed off their Tucanos to R_D & I, the performance of which is closer to R_D's Yak than my Koliber.

It was an enjoyable day, spoilt only by the wind. Thanks to all who turned up.
