Civilian Aviation

Some pictures from the Air-Britain Classic Fly-in at Turweston.

A big thank you to Phil Kemp and all the AB volunteers who make this happen.

Held in line with Covid guidelines, it was a welcome return towards some normality.
Weather was not kind, but still a reasonable number of visitors, and chance to check based aircraft.
I enjoyed my day.
Pete.

Thanks for looking.

A rather nice set of shots and thanks for sharing them, the last one threw me too and doesn't Pup 'VDF look great still?

very nice Pete and seems you picked the right day to go.


you even got Phil the Fly-in director in the pic of 'BIYK, he doesn't get much rest on fly in days!

You are right there, that was some among the circa 22500 steps done on Saturday. Much less on Sunday as it was unfortunately a wash-out.

Thanks for the pictures Pete, never manged a single photo all weekend.

Thanks all.
Thought a few more might post some shots. Maybe weather put folk off.

LE, thanks for some classics . One favorite caught my eye , as the reg. seemed a tad familiar .. Going to the Air Brit 'fotos virtually confimed it .
Diving , not into the attic , they've been promoted to spare room wardrobe.... to retrieve the stack of logbooks .
Into the first ..
Yes , August 1971 , GASZB . I flew her from Felthorpe a few times ; last in 1974 .. was laid off in '75 , so no spare dosh or time .
GINFO also gave more details that she'd been a Marshalls of Cambridge 'Boid until Spring '71 . I'd only just missed her , being a Marshall's 'Boi in July '71.
Only one of 4 Marshalls 150s from then is still going , G-ATMC . Still looking good and passing through Compton Abbas regularly , despite the dents I must have inflicted on her 50 years ago .

rgds condor .
