Well this would have been a glorious day for the Leuchars (nee Battle of Britain) Airshow has it not been cancelled and the base turned into a barracks with runways. Anyway I was meant to be helping out today at Scone on what could have been a busy day but it was reasonably quiet and well behaved, so I got out to play every now and then.

Nice selection of types in good light, Wallace. I wonder if that Eindecker will ever venture as far east as Dundee...
