Seven warbirds doing their power checks on the taxiway at the LWH end. You could almost touch them.

They’re now beating up the airfield in a tail chase. It sounds incredible.

Sounds great. Glad you're having a good time.

Will be there on Sunday... hopefully the rain will not scupper my plans!

If we could just have the Lysander to fly, my day will be complete.

Does anyone think there might be a risk that some stuff won't fly tomorrow due to strong crosswinds?

Awesome day! :tongue: :clap:
