Arrived at Shawbury at about 0900.
Departed at 1000.
Returned about 30 mins later due to poor weather.
Still on the ground at 1230 waiting for weather to improve.

Thanks Arthur,

Which end will be best today? (I hope the same as Saturday)

Are the Reds still departing this afternoon?

Thanks

Ben

One Hawk (one of the Reds?) and two Tonkas have departed using runway 18.

Saying that - on looking at the clouds the wind looks decidedly westerly - so in that case they may use 23 - so if you want airborne arrival shots you might want to position yourself near Moreton Corbet Castle.
