Shuttleworth Race Day

[johnr]

Not much actual racing but a number of racers were amongst the visitors.
The weather was somewhat variable from overcast, through broken cloud to brilliant sunshine just at the end for the Spitfire and Lysander
Some pictures are not the best but included out of interest.
A Yak 11 started the show


The NHS Spitfire flown by John Romaine put on a spirited display


The Monette Sonerai and Cassutt racers


The Le Vier Cosmic Wind 'Ballerina'


There was a convenient break in the cloud for the gliders

Nothing wrong with your pictures, but the first aircraft is a Yak C 11, not a Yak-3.

Thanks. I have acually seen a Yak 3 so I should have been more careful
