Title: Sywell Airshow
Post by: Squiffy on August 18, 2014, 07:26:49 AM

Unfortunately what would have been the highlights, as far as I'm concerned, the Great War Display Team's dogfight and the BBMF Lancaster and visiting Canadian Lancaster were cancelled due to the strong winds today. However, I did get a few shots of some of the GWDT kites heading home.

Thanks for the shots Squiffy. I used to live not too far from Sywell. Just out of interest is there still a privately owned Mustang P51D based there?

I was in Northampton last week for a family event and made a visit for old times sake to the model shop on the W'borough Road. It was pleasing to see it well-stocked and apparently flourishing.

Best wishes
