LAA Sywell 4 Sept 2021

[LondonEye]

Sywell, the LAA show. Celebrating 75 years, starting as The Ultra-Light Aircraft Association, and for many years PFA Popular Flying Association.
Saturday was grey and overcast until early afternoon. Still, by my reckoning, including the exhibition area, they broke the Four hundred aircraft mark.

Pictures here are what I regard as the more interesting or unusual types.
An album on my FlickR will have more coverage.

That's a great set of shots taken at an event that I used to attend regularly in the 1970s at Sywell, then Cranfield a couple of times in the 1980s.
The set is topped-off perfectly by those gorgeous Pups and the Bulldog - I've still never seen 'VDF!

Wonderful set of photos. I used to go to the PFA events in the 70's. Unfortunately despite living just a few miles away I couldn't get to the rally this year.
