Shuttleworth's LAA party: 19.5.2013

[Exiler]

Some good weather and wonderful flying combined to make an excellent day out. My second visit this year and now beginning to see what all the fuss is about once again. Sadly, I left before the Avro Triplane took off but I really cannot complain about a show that provided more than a few gems.

Thanks for looking.

Thanks Dan, not often I get a comment from a 'mod'.

One of the highlights I thought was Stu Goldspink's 'elongated' routine in the Hawker Demon due to the Hurricane going tech. What a wonderful piece of flying!

Surprised at the lack of comments on these - they're fantastic! Especially the Hawker Biplanes

Thank's for the comments guys. That Optica is a great piece of kit, glad they are looking at re-marketing it, hopefully it can be successful this time round.
