Fantastic evening of flying. Edwardians just taking to the sky.

Drove to Dunstable and back from Northants today and it's hammering it down regularly everywhere. Occasional bits of sunshine but never for more than a minute or two. It'll either be a stunning evening at Old Warden or it'll be hell on earth...

Yesterday, the forecast looked like a clear evening, but today the BBC are showing lots of rain in the area.

I've decided to wait (again!) - running out of shows at OW now! I just want some sunshine!

You missed a glorious show. It didn't rain until the show had finished and we had some great light. It was shorts weather throughout. The Boxkite and Avro Triplane circled overhead whilst the Dep and Bleriot did their hops so we had three Eds in the air several times. All the signs pointed towards a wet afternoon but as Mr Formby said, "Turned out nice again".

I agree!!! So glad that we and headed north to OW yesterday. Thanks Nick!!! When we arrived, the sun was out (briefly), then it poured for a short while. Then after that, it was a fantastic afternoon of flying. Lee Proudfoot put on an outstanding display in MH434. Four of the five Edwardians flew. All in all, it was a great day. Great light for most of day. Thank you to all organizers involved for another wonderful display at Old Warden.
