It was a great day, full of stuff. The Red Bull team did well, they kept it coming thick and fast.
Jayne Middlemiss was great Quote ' and he is flying a very goood plane- a red and white one'
And at the end of the day interviewing one of the pilots
Jayne: ' You've been in planes all day, don't you get fed up with them'
Pilot: ' No you never get fed up with planes, they're not like women'

It was fantastic, brilliant flying and fantastic weather. It made me laugh in the interviews when the woman was most looking forward to the car racing!
Can't remember who it was, but one of the pilots was talking over the radio whilst flying off from his run and still doing aeros! Sounded like he was just sat in an arm chair, i'd find it difficult to speak with all the sick flying about everywhere with what they were doing!

Franks little problem
I take it you dont know about Franks little incident at wing farm on Saturday evening?
Landed his extra with a fairly high "alpha" tailwheel first - it then slammed it down onto the main gear and it spread both sides.
Hurt his pride alot....
£60,000 to repair
mmmmm! you didnt wanna do that Frank!!

A little less conversation,
a little more aviation...

I wondered where the usual Versteegh-mobile was - it had
been parked in the hangar at WW next to the Pitts for a while
when they got back from Ireland (they also had Mike Mangold's
Edge 540 tucked away...)

Agree with every body... a tremendous day out. However it did the reverse for me. Now I KNOW I don't want to do aeros, I could feel the "g" in the enclosure. A question for those that know these things. How do the Yanks get their aircraft to Europe? Do they strip tham and then ship them as cargo like they do with Formula One cars? Or do they rent the nearest equivalent in Europe? Either way there's a lot of money going in to this sport which can't be bad.
