That's excellent, have really missed this event. Lets hope the Desford, Miles types, Proctor, and maybe even the Q6(probably a year too early)? Love these sort of events.

Just letting people know this is a low key event this year - more on their social media pages to follow.

Anyone know if there is an entrance fee for those coming by road? Long time since I've visited Kemble.

Yes as an employee their, yes it is free for this small event. The newly refurbished AV8 restaurant will be open and we have re-positioned the Hunter T7 from its grass parking area near the tower, to concrete hardstanding to the front right of the tower. From the back of the restaurant to the tower area and AV8 is now a pedestrian area, all car parking in the car park and on the grass behind.

Spread the word to others.... its a low key relaxed event to come and watch. See you their!

given that it's not a public event and we presumably are limited in our wandering is it OK for photo opportunities, take offs and landings

Ryan STA nosed over on landing, no word on pilot, presume all was ok.

Decent amount of visitors, no exact number though. Whatever the three biz were didn't turn up so, they may have rescheduled for tomorrow, can't confirm that though.

Both onboard the Ryan were looking ok after the incident & saw them walk back a little later after the aircraft was pushed across to the south side.

One Gulfstream IV, N1956M, arrived around 3 ish or just after.

Sunday was much busier than Saturday with a lot more variety, including Nanchang CJ-6A, CT180/G-BXZB in Sri Lanka Air Force colours.
Even three biz jets - with arrival of Lear 45, M-RBIG, Cessna 510 Citation Mustang G-FFFC and departure of Gulfsteam IV, N1956M - a great day! :cool:
