A Rather Warm Shuttleworth Festival of Flight

With only having one day free for the Shuttleworth Festival of Flight this year, it took a bit of weighing up the options to decide which day to go for, but in the end, the better looking forecast and the chance to catch the Typhoon in the evening light (cancellation turned out to be a bit of a blessing) I purchased a ticket for the Sunday!

As always an absolutely stunning day out at one of the finest locations for an airshow in the UK, topped off with all of the Edwardians managing to get up and fly which really was magical.

Thanks for sharing these and good to see that the weather was suitable for the veterans to get airborne. It looks as if they gave the grass a good trim, so the English Electric Wren could fly.

Thanks Mustang! The wren ended up doing about 4 or 5 circuits amazingly, it looked like it kept hitting a thermal
