VAC Fly-in at Bicester Sunday 21 August

Post by TJJ »

The VAC held a fly-in and picnic at Bicester on Sunday. A good turnout at this lovely grass airfeld, which I had not visited before. In my flying days it was a place to avoid because of the intense gliding, which still takes place there.

Pride of place went to an immaculate Travel Air

There was a very nice Leopard Moth, G-ACMA, parked next to it

There were a couple of Austers. G-AOCU / MT349 was a combat veteran of Normandy and on into Germany. It suffered combat damage from bullets and shrapnel, and looks quite pugnacious! The other Auster was G-BEAH
