Lovely Day at Old Warden if not over cast. Vintage cars stole the show apart form the OV-10 which put one a top display totally suited to OW and used the bend to best effect.
A selection and mix of cars and aeroplanes from the day.

Thanks for looking, still going through the photos so may post a few more later.

Excuse my ignorance, but what is meant by 'the bend'?

There’s a dog’s leg or bend near the control tower that displaying aircraft use, on occasion, to curve around and show the top side of the aircraft.

Ah...many thanks. Great shots from a great location!

Thanks for sharing these with us, great shots and being a member, I suppose I'm biased. But if you like what you see, maybe visit one day and you could be pleasantly surprised. Nice to see the Hermes Moth G-EBWD, it's been based at the airfield since 1932, so holds the record for longest resident aircraft at a base in the UK. I do realise it's not military, but it's still nice to see this sort of aircraft.
