I went on Saturday, and the event was affected by the weather front crossing the UK. Broken cloud thickened during the morning, and just after 2.00 started raining. Also, there was a fair old wind blowing. So visiting aircraft well down, compared to previous years.
A few more restrictions this year on access. We already lost based hangarage last year because of usual idiots behaviour. This year, no access on main apron. Probably because of problems last year when an HA-1112 came to refuel, and the area was swarmed with folks looking or taking pics. The Air Leasing hangar (where you might see warbird restorations) had it's windows papered up.
So onto a taste of the rally. As my norm, what I regard as the rarer types of interest. Types on the picture tags.
