I`ve been watching and listening to the planes arriving yesterday and today.
Those WW2 fighters sound magic!
V8`s and some V twins sound great, but these Rolls Royce Merlins and the P 51 Mustang power plants are just, like, IT, y` know!
Had a C130 Hercules go overhead a short while back.
Just hope the weather holds out...it`s overcast here , drizzling at times and cold (well, 16 is cold compaired to the 30`s we`ve had lately).

And now, looking out off the front decking, the Mustang is flying circuits...so cool.
I remember the last air show (or maybe the one before), hot as day, sitting out on the back deck sipping some fine Port, watching and listening as the planes did there thing in the skys overhead.

What would you charge for a port and a chair

We might be going over on the Sunday... and reviews like above only make me wanna

Some trees have grown since last time, but you can still see enough...the airdrome would be heaps better though.
Just had some hard out drizzle to stuff things up, but a Venum jet streaked overhead, and now I think a Kittyhawk rumbling through the clouds.
Feck this weather...it`s usually light till around 9.00, and they all do their last flight practices before the big day in the evening.

Sunday's the day

I'm picking the worst weather will be on Saturday reading between the lines on the Met Service website, fingers crossed Sunday should be not too bad...... (the power of wishful thinking...
