Thanks for the list, I missed the Faalcon Major ias I didn't visit the Engineering hangar this time.

Considering the weather is thought they put together a very good event and some excellent flying. They pulled out the stops with some last minute additions so well done Old Warden.

The Shuttleworth Sprint seemed an enlarged event this year and I watched that for a while and left SWMBO watching the horses.

Thr crowd seemed a bit thin probably affected by the weather, I went to the fence at about 1.45 and found a space easily, good for me but a pity for the organisers.
I'm now looking forward to 2026 although the membership price increase announced last week was a bit of a shock
