Abingdon Fayre arrivals

Aircraft have started arriving for the Abingdon Fayre at Dalton Barracks, Abingdon. Here are a few quick piccies of todays events. The Displays by the Chinook and Merlin are really impressive. The Polish Navy have also arrived ready for the weekends fun and games.

A few more movements at Sunny (ish) Abingdon.

The Lynx did another practise display




Then the sun went in and the cloud came over, so guess what, the fast jets arrived. First the Hawk.







Followed by the Jaguar











(I liked the Jag…….a lot!!)

And then the sun came out.

Hope you all have a great day there tomorrow.

Great pics..and very clear too. Keep up the good work.

Had a few days in Abingdon in 2000...am an MG buff. Beautiful countryside and great town.
