Re: SPOTM September 2016 - Vans RV series
and I'll kick it off with this one from Little Gransden's annual show in August 2014, G-GNRV a Vans RV.9 which is based at the farm strip in my village landing and being filmed from inside the cockpit. The pilot informs me that it was definitely the passenger ding the filming!
