Being a disappointed RIAT ticket holder I persuaded Mrs Bob to let me out to see the Flying Legends show on Sunday and I had a great time. To see so many wonderful aircraft in the air and the pilots thoroughly enjoying the flying it was a fantastic spectacle. True, I haven't attended FL before so it was a new experience, but to stand in front of the flight line and watch these snarling beasts taxi back gave some idea of what it must have been like in the 40's.
I must admit that I did baulk at the £30 entry fee for a fairly short display, but then I thought that it was a small price to pay to keep these magnificent aircraft flying so that future generations may get to see them and understand about the sacrifices made.
