Battlegroup North, Elvington Airfield - May 11/12th
Held on a very windy weekend, the move from the museum
compound to the airfield, exaggerated the
cold. Saturday was also showery, and this probably helped to keep the public
away. It cleared up on Saturday evening, giving some of the best light of the
weekend, allowing me to get some great sunset pictures over the Nimrod and
Victor. |

Some of the museum aircraft were run and taxied during
the weekend, starting with the SE5a, Devon and Dakota. Something new to the
show was this 'Follow Me' Jeep. It was nice to see another airfield vehicle. |

The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Dakota and Lancaster also flew over, the Dak on Saturday and the Lanc on Sunday. Saturday also saw the Buccaneer and Nimrod do fast taxi runs, while on Sunday, the Nimrod was replaced by the Victor. There were also a number of aircraft from Breighton airfield made several passes on Sunday. There was a very good tun out of vehicles, though with them spread out over a larger site, it was difficult to tell numbers compared to previous years. | |||
