Fly to the Past!

Postby Xplumberlives » Mon Aug 22, 2011 4:13 pm

Took a trip to Oxfordshire for the FLY TO THE PAST show, the weather gradually improved and then the damned heat haze became a problem!

Very nice to see the Sea Vixen standing in for 558!

It was the only thing wrong with the day, apart from the Sea Vixen not touching the runway! ;)
