Disappointing to loose the P51 and the HAC Fury but the editions certainly make up for it.

Well... the more Spitfires the better and RN201 will be a new one for me... show line up looking very good.

Looking forward to Saturday.

Indeed, about time too! :thumb:

Unlikely Sharkmouth will fly, visible damage to the wing, apparently.

Crosswind was more than expected.

Sharkmouth flew 3 maybe 4 times today.

See you tomorrow.

No worries, they are there today. Sadly I'm not there but got a family member who is and trying to find them for me.

Now inside the American Museum as it's chucking it down.
