A rather excellent fly-in was held at Middle Wallop on 8 April 2017 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the first flight of the Gazelle. Lots of interesting aircraft, great organisation and blue skies ensured it was most enjoyable.
Firstly the civilian Gazelles (some obviously ex-military and still in their military schemes):
