A dark and damp day but still enjoyable.

One these beauties did a flypast on Saturday afternoon she came in very low and flew around for about 5 minutes awesome site and noise

.
But I couldn't find my bloody camera in time

RAF Cosford is pretty cool too, not far from me. I'd recommend you popping in if you're around that way.

Cool photos Jim, I love the Spit.

I have a question I've been meaning to ask you, as to your location and obvious interest in aviation. My father was station at Middleton St. George during the war. He was an aircraft mechanic and member of No. 6 Group RCAF, specifically 428 Squadron. I understand that this field is now Durham Tees Valley Airport. Just wondering if you have ever been there?

Bus driving for your mate again, or a personal trip this time?

A little bit further down and you could've gone to Waddington Airshow.

Next time you go, which should be in about 2014 the rate you're going, let us know beforehand and I'm sure a few more could tag along and have our own North of England meet.

So I see Mrs. Buna is letting you add bigger models to your collection.

Nice spit picture and the reptiles.
