Rochester plays host to Great War Display Team

[colper]

An early morning phone call on Saturday(15th) and I was on my way to Rochester Airport.The phrase "you never know what is going to turn up" is usually applied to Headcorn,but of late it can equally be used in reference to Rochester Airport.Saturday was one of those occasions - - - the Great War Display team were performing at the Herne Bay Airshow and chose Rochester as their base for the day.

Unfortunately we don't see scenes like this all the time at Rochester but,like Headcorn,"you never know whats going to turn up".So if you are in the area pop in,you will always be made welcome by the friendly staff and the cafe serves up a tasty bacon butty.

Hi Colin.

Great set, much better than my brief glimpse from the 101 bus as we went by. I think that No3 could be subtitled "Oy, put me down".
