Regrettably this year weather and
other events have stopped us attending as many Vintage Aircraft Club
flyins as
we had planned. So we were determined to make the trip to Sackville if at
all possible.
The day was planned to take place on
Saturday or if the weather was not good, on Sunday. We received a
telephone call and Email on Friday evening to say the flyin was taking
place on Sunday. So we made preparations.
The day started well and with very
good visibility we flew up past Greenham Common, Didcot Power Station,
Benson, Finmere and Turweston and then at Buckingham we headed East around
Milton Keynes passing Poddington where they were racing and landed at Sackville
Farm. We were the first visiting aeroplane to arrive. But within
minutes we were joined by about 40 other aircraft of all ages and sizes.
Tony the owner of Sackville produced a
fabulous barbecue, delicious salads with wicked puddings which were enjoyed by
all. Many of those who attended posed for the group photograph before
making their way home
