Must take the buggy to carry all of your purchases and attempt to park in a better area to allow for regular trips back to drop off all your stuff! ;)

Cracking show, more aircraft than last year and wonderful weather on both days. Sky was a photographers friend on Saturday and the early morning of Sunday. Aircraft were right over you if you know where to stand, we tried several places with the help of the organisers who were patrolling the fields and removing people who shouldn't have been there! ;)

Pictures to follow when I get the hang of the new set up! :-o
