If I weren't working and if the forecast looked a lot better than it does...er...yes.

Superb venue from one past experience. It epitomises everything that's good about life in the UK and is therefore an essential antidote to all the over-hyped bad stuff. IMHO.

Look forward to seeing you there.
I have the L4 booked for both days but will probably go on Sunday as this appears to be best weather and will have the most aircraft flying.
There will be quite a gathering of WW2 miltary aircraft including the three Stearman display.
Also a mega amount of historic cars etc,it's a good show with lots of things happening.

Good to meet you yesterday,you did a great display in the Fournier.
All in all,a fantastic day once the weather cleared,lots of interesting displays including Stearmans,Mustangs,Spitfire,Lancaster,Pitts radial engine,a glider doing aero's,many others and to top it all the Red Arroes did a fly-past.
I took the L4 and we parked with another L4,an L5 and a Mustang next to a WW2 re-enactment group with all their vehicles,tents etc,it made an interesting and evocative display.

Well done Rougham Estate for letting it happen,and all the organisers for making it a marvellous day.

Thank you.
Lister
