I was in there too! With my SWMBO. Walk into the bar, turn left and walk out right, onto the deck. We were just on the RHS. My other half squeaked when the Vulcan swept majestically past to land, light as a feather! Nice to see the Anson sounding in good form. Hurricane too.

I thought the faster jets could have been somewhat lower! C-17 looked worth the money and the Rapide plus DH minions were all in splendid condition.

Samuel Cody would have been proud and probably amazed at how many aviation buffs made the pilgrimage and paid their respects.

That Vulcan caused a large lump in my throat and some of the money being wasted on the myth of global warming should go to keep her well and truly in the air. After all trees love CO2 and more CO2 means more greenery!
