Spiteful god damn weather, honestly, just 24/48 hours out.

Every damn time. I swear I haven’t been to a “good weather” OW for at least a couple of years now. Every one has been grey & dull.

Perhaps I’m the jinx, sorry lads!

I understand the difficult financial scene and the vagueness of weather reports, however my view is that I have spent close to zero on airshows over the past two years and recall that Old Warden has had a few shows when a gap appeared locally despite the forecasts. So fingers crossed, bag packed and looking forward to it.

I'm the same as long as it doesn't rain and no gale force winds, I'll take it it'll be a first for me with poor weather. I usually need a bath in calamine lotion when I get home.

Yes, it's a shame about the weather, but I want to show my financial support after a couple of years of hardship on airshows...I'll be there!

So queue for 20 minutes to order and pay for bacon and tea. Then queue again for 20 minutes to get bacon then join 3rd queue for tea....

Second Se5a and Spitfire MH434 have gone tech.

Weather grey and drab but looks like a decent turnout in visitors.

Slightly breezy so the Edwardians are likely to be off the menu, we're probably going to ending with the avro Anson.

Left OW with port mainwheel issue, used percussively persuasion to cure it and landed safely,

Weather has been dry and reasonably bright

Grey, bit of a breeze, the odd very light drop of moisture but otherwise passable.
