:D

Just got back from the show at Seething.
The lady has asked me to post a thank you to all those who helped make the display and the day a really good one.
The flying was terrific and the organization excellent.
Thank you to all who contributed to giving us a really great day's outing. :ok:

Sorry I couldn't make it guys; circumstances dictated that I be elsewhere so I popped along to Redhill instead.

Sounds like I missed a good one. Hope to make the next one - next year I might even have an aircraft to fly in!

Cheers

;) Wx. Pretty good really. The odd shower but the real problem for the flyers was the wind.
Pretty much straight across 06/24 @ about 20kts?
Great job of aviating. One Spitfire, I think it was, didn't arrive due to X wind at point of departure.
Good day, will pencil it in for next year.

The wind was a BIG factor - 16G20 and onto the crowd, when I departed for my display slot.

The other problem that affected the guys immediately behind me was the ceiling. I started my first maneouver 200' and 10kts, lower than I normally aim to do and pulled the power back an inch and a half so that my flick at the top of the loop was not into cloud! After that pretty plain sailing but the on-crowd wind really had to be tackled early in each pass.

Good day out for self and tKf.
