I've now had time to go through all my pics from Lt Gransden which once again was an excellent show and this time it was a sell out

this particular Tiger Moth from Cambridge brings back special memories for me, I arranged a flight for my late father in this for his 60th birthday, I think it was the best birthday present he ever had - he learnt to fly in a Tiger Moth whae he joined the RAF and the instructor was amazed how much he remembered more that 40 years later
