They did sound great. Remarkably the Turbulents' VWs could be heard quite clearly over the eight Gipsy Majors and the Jodel's Continental.

Incidently, I can't think that I've ever seen or heard of five Stampes in a formation in the UK before... anybody know if that many have ever been so gathered?

Great to see 'CDC and 'WEF again after so long; they often used to fly over my head when the Tiger Club was still at Redhill.

I'd been up at Shuttleworth the evening before for a superb sunset display culminating with the Edwardians and hops by the Deperdussin and Bleriot. I think my jeans are still lightly perfumed with oil from the Hawker Tomtit's smokey start up!

A wonderful weekend!
