The first arrivals for the Midlands Air Festival have taken place, with some of the heavier aircraft unable to use the grass runways at Ragley Hall, basing at Coventry for the weekend. P-51D 'Sharkmouth' and the Strikemaster Display team have already arrived, with more arrivals due this evening and tomorrow.
Having arrived on Monday, the P51 went for a local:
