Henstridge 20th Anniversary Vintage Wings & Wheels

Post by Cessna954 » Tue Aug 27, 2019 11:45 am

Henstridge airfield, on the Dorset and Somerset border, held its 20th annual Vintage Wings & Wheels event in glorious sunshine on Saturday. Organised by the 'old' GVFWE team, the event is a Bank Holiday favourite for many local people and enthusiasts with its informal manner and great selection of interesting cars and aeroplanes.

With the wind across the runway most pilots opted for runway 07 which isn't great for photography as the backdrop is somewhat industrial and cluttered. So, I chose to stay around the clubhouse and see what photographs I could get from there. Here's a small selection of the 100 plus aircraft that attended.

excellent Neil :clap: What an super event, looks like you chose your clubhouse location wisely.
I can't pick one favourite as so many stand out at me.

Looks like you have a few candidates for the September SPOTM ;)
