New Year's Day Fly-In - Compton Abbas

Post by Cessna954 » Tue Jan 01, 2019 10:44 pm

Happy New Year to all on the forum.

My 2019 started with a chilly few hours at Compton Abbas in Dorset. The fly-in was well attended but the sun didn't quite show itself as much as us photographers would have liked, nonetheless, it was great to be out and around aircraft. A small selection of photographs of the visitors below.

very nice set Neil - looks like a good day out. That Beech looks impressive and I confidently predict that Mike will sing the praises of the Pup.

thanks for posting them and also for the log that you provided on my UKLAE google group
