Hi Guys n Gals,

well here's mine for the month.

Do you remember the excitement of your first air display?

Well this young 'un looks well happy to be at Barton on the 3rd July, for the open day. He was happy enough to be allowed to sit in the fire truck, and to wear a firemans helmet, however I thought he was going to burst when I arranged for him to sit in the spitty!

And before anyone asks, the aircraft is a Supermarine MK26, civilian reg'd.



Regards

Reggie
