Civilian Aviation

I spent a pleasant Easter Monday in the company of Porkscratching and 2 others at Fowlmere where a sizeable fly in took place. A great event although the heat haze off the field between us and the runway played havoc with my shots there before we went onto the airfield, here's a brief selection of my photos , there are loads more in my flickr album https://www.flickr.com/photos/125470545 ... 0298262375

here we go.......
before the visitors started arriving this Extra provided some entertainment , making several flights. Up and down like a lady of the night's underwear as they say...

Lovely set Andy, you know which one my favourite is!

There's some nice types in there - Zlin, Argus, Cygnet etc. Looks a nice day.
Thanks

Great selection Andy, on what was a very enjoyable day out. Apologies for the photo-bomb!
