Old Warden race day 7th October 2018

Post by andygolfer » Mon Oct 08, 2018 6:13 pm

the season finale at Old Warden and an excellent show as always,this was my 5th visit of 2018 so I've seen a good variety over the season and not one show has disappointed. Some of the regulars appeared but quite a few different ones as well - the floatplanes made a nice variation and it was nice to see the Mystery Ship for the first time in a while. The race simulations saw some excellent combinations, the aforementioned Mystery ship together with the DH.88 and 2 Mew Gulls was a new one for me and The 6 Pitts put on a good show. mustang 'Contrary Mary' together with the Shuttleworth's Sea Hurricane did a nice bit of tail chasing. The Miles Hawk 6 looked superb in the sunshine - what a beautiful aircraft and the finale of the Edwardians (Blackburn Monoplane Boxkite and Deperdussin) rounded of the season perfectly. There was a big round of applause for chief pilot Dodge Bailey who flew the Blackburn after he emerged from the aircraft, he's handing over the chief pilot responsibilities but will still be flying in 2019.
The 2019 calendar has just been published and I can't wait! 7 months to the first show - how time flies.
