9th April - With the missus away all day on Sunday (watching her brother complete the Brighton Marathon in a very respectable time of 4:14) and the blazing sunshine, the situation almost demanded a visit to Old Warden. I took my daughter for our first visit to the lovely play area, bought her a kids meal from the new catering trailer and then played on the grass with her, whilst occasionally jumping up to photograph aeroplanes, as below:

Love the shot of the DH88 Comet with engine covers off.
Nice to see an early V tail Bonanza too.
Cheers.
Pete.

Another vote for the V tail Bonaza. The Piston Provost looks fabulous in grey/green camo too.

TheMightyOz ! Going back to your first post ... That photo of the Dh88 Comet is superb ... Like most fine ladies she looks a little more interesting with some clothing removed ??

Absolutely lovely seeing them...I have many happy memories of going to every show there when I lived in Bedford many moons ago...Grosvenor House looks beautiful as always, even with her cowlings off....brilliant memories brought back to life
