MOTF - as always superb pictures - there's no way I'm going to post the ones I took here. Were you one of the crew who were washing down the Magister at the end of the display?

I have to say I thought whoever was flying the Avro Tutor in formation with the Triplane was doing a magnificent job. I doubt that the Triplane goes that fast when S&L, so I assume that the poor old Tutor can't have been that far above its stall speed.

I didn't see the F2B display as I was having a look round the hangers, but I do remember seeing some pretty spirited ones in the past (flown by John Lewis I think). I think the collection tend to be a bit gentler with some of the aircraft now compared to when I first started going (back in the 1980s). I'm sure that in the past I've seen even the Avro 504 looped .

And it was soooo good to see and hear the Sea Fury again.
