The
annual Great Vintage Flying Weekend fly in at Henstridge is always a
tremendous event and all of us who fly are very grateful for the
organisation and hard work that has made this so successful.
This year the
weather wasn’t the best with some patchy low cloud and poor visibility
in places on the way. However the wind was behaving well and was suitably
light for the vintage types.
We landed and took
on fuel requiring Brian to fire up his trusty bowser. Then we were parked
on the grass with assistance from the marshalling team. |
After
signing in we took a look at the collection of interesting vehicles that
were on display. |

|
Some of
these cars are indeed very rare and it would appear to be quite a risk
just driving to such events |

|
A
little later our friends John and Sue arrive in the Tiger Moth G-ANFM |

|
Very
much later in the day another friend, Paul Sengupta arrived in his Bulldog
G-DOGG. Unfortunately he was too late for the burgers and sausages. Luckily
he did make it in time to see the BBMF |

It
was really great to see the Dakota make several low passes |
