Nice pics - I thought Strikemaster G -FLYY had gone to Ireland - was it just visiting?

Thanks all for the kind comments - it was a very enjoayable day I just wish I could have gone back again today :(

Mayfly - The SM did a few circuits and bumps but did not stay at the field. A bit later on the SM did fly over the airfeld at about 7,000' but then disappeared off and did not return.
