Cool

Seven of us came from Germany and were there both days.
Unfortunate that the second Gladiator didn't fly in formation with the Shuttleworth one, that the RNHF Swordfish had engine problems and could not come, and that Sally B also was missing an engine. Besides that, what an Excellent Show of WW2 aircraft.
In our opinion the best that one can hope for EXCEPT one thing........The commentators!
We come to see the aircraft and HEAR the Merlins, Packards, Wrights & Bristol Sleeve Valve Engines. The commentary blairing out of those loudspeakers during the flying drowns out the "music" of the engines. Absoultely the wrong time and volume for any unnecessary comments.
We also think that the 5 Stearmans & Beautiful Wing Walkers hit the spot. What a lovely addition to the Flying Legends. Keep it up!
Only stop the "excess noise" (commentary) during the flying.
Thanks to all involved and we will come again!
