Wasn't bad today despite 558 , the Spitfire and the wingwalkers [ \:D/ ] being grounded on the south coast .
The action on the track made up for it ;)

Bloody gliders invaded our airspace today X(
Heads are going to roll at the Windrushers , the Reds and Silverstone are not happy .
Beside that , all was well thanks to the Lanc finding a weather window to leave Southampton :)

The Reds had that a couple of years ago. Southampton & Cosford both in the same weekend - it became quite a high profile case.

Happens a lot unfortunately

There were some unhappy people watching on ITV4 apparently. I've heard they cut to the adverts just as the red arrows turned up????

It's a Spartan Executive

They only built 34 Spartan 7W Executive's and now we have two in the UK.
