Little Gransden airshow 26-8-2012 (pic heavy)

I went to Little Gransden on sunday and as usual the show did NOT disappoint…..

Mark Jeffries did his usual amazing display in the Extra 330SC (I think the SC should stand for sickbags compulsory!)

Stearman overhead

– the fence line was fairly busy and conjested and I failed to get decent shots of some of the other participants, the crowd seemed much larger than last year but as usual a wonderful selection of al l types of aircraft, I still maintain it is one of the most enjoyable shows on the circuit. I had to leave after the B.17 so missed anything that displayed after 3pm :mad:
