Hello all,
Went to Compton Abbas Airfield for the first time this year and seeing as it was a nice day and not too far away it was a good excuse to cop some more GA aircraft and dust off the camera. I ended up with way too many pictures especially of The Wing Walker Company based 1940's Boeing Stearman N2S-3 Kaydet G-WWLK. Before I post the other pictures from Compton Abbas, I thought I'd bung all the ones of G-WWLK on here for those interested in these sorts of things!
It's taken me a month to go through them, crop and adjusting etc and binning some others, mostly as since Microsoft Flight Sim 2020 came out I've been hooked exploring the mind blowing scenery on VFR flights, including Compton Abbas which is just graphics on a whole level, it was like being there in the flesh...anyway yes the wing walking...
I didn't actually go on it myself, I would have but I have a condition called bricking it in my pants...
C&C Welcome!
