Breighton Airfield Aerobatics Comp and Aerojumble Fly-In - May 6/7th

My normal car was off the road, so my trip to Breighton was by Jeep! I was going to camp for the weekend, so for the first time in a few years, towed the jeep trailer with Jessie, after swapping all the bulbs back to 24 volts. The drive down on Friday saw nice blue sky, but on Saturday morning, passing low cloud interrupted the aerobatics competition, eventually resulting in its cancellation. There were however, many nice aircraft to look at, even if not all flew during the weekend.

On Sunday, it was a Fly-In and Aerojumble, and I had a stall selling some of my Aviation Model Art pictures ( see below ). I had a few sales and a number of orders placed for other aircraft, some of which were based at Breighton. The low cloud persisted, but there were still a number of unusual aircraft flew in to visit for the day.

 My trade stand and three examples of the model art I was selling, a Yak18a, based at Breighton with the Real Aeroplane Company, the de Havilland DH.88 Comet England-Australia air racer and a Miles Magister, also Breighton based.
