I went on Saturday with Chippy G-BCSL. What a super day! Lovely flight down from Scouseport, and joined the Woburn circuit in time to see the Vimy do a fly past.

Not quite as warm darn sarf as oop north that day, but very nice none the less (Sunday looks better in the pix). Woburn Moth Rally is the only event I've attended where there really is such a thing as a free lunch (and free afternoon tea as well!) for visiting pilots. Loads of interesting aeroplanes, including the replica Vimy (airside, we could walk right up to and around it) and dH types of every description.

Even better flight home with unlimited viz and a few clouds way above our level. Cricket on village greens, combines working the fields, gliders working the thermals, Pendelinos snaking along the West Coast Main Line, miles of standing traffic on the M6 (snigger!), cows heading home for milking, and the wonderfully patchworked English countryside of golds, browns, and greens of high summer.

Thanks dH Moth club. A great day out.
