Breighton Bucker Fest

Is anyone else setting the compass on "N" and keeping going until Breighton appears on the nose this weekend?
I'm trying to rig up an air-conditioning unit in the cockpit (gets hot at the best of times in Jungmeister cockpits) for the 107 Nm trip on Friday!
Looks like it's going to be an excellent couple of days (and nights!) out.
Regards,
Jez.

If I did that I'd end up in Scotland. I'll be heading 155 magnetic for Breighton.

Sounds like a wonderful event . Take photos!

Not long ago I looked up and saw 12 Bückers flying overhead in loose formation. Subsequent investigation revealed one of them had flown 1500 miles to get there. It was quite a thing to see, like a 1930s flying display.

You called, Crikey Moss?

ISTR that the pheasant plucker flew a Bucker. Or was that his son?
