Vintage Compton 2016

Post by Tiger Starter »

Greetings once again from darkest Dorset. Saturday 6th was the second Vintage Fly In day at Compton Abbas and the skies cleared for a great day. Plenty of activity live-side plus a gathering of vintage cars and bikes to look at too. Here is a selection of comings and goings during the day but with the visiting aircraft stretching the whole length of the airfield time between our flights precluded a full tour so I hope you'll enjoy the bits that I did manage to capture.

Here you go. This one was from a little earlier in the afternoon when "The General" was running up on the fuelling apron.
