These guys have a new fan in me. I must admit i felt sorry for them, going on pretty soon after the red arrows. But they did a great job.

staggerwing. Was an ok display, ended up being an annoying ego trip on the part of the owner who was doing commentary.

this was a cool display, however he was on right after the typhoon which meant the crowds were already leaving.

Very nice Craig. Nice to see the Staggerwing out and about a bit more than with its previous owner though...

Peter Teichman. Quite new to the display circuit so he can only improve. Not much you can do with a Staggerwing but it's nice to see it. He also owns & flies immaculate P-51D "Jumpin' Jacques" & Spitfire Mk XI PL965.

Flown by LCol Ruud Huisman. I met him & the team at Shoreham last year & he's darned good. Jolly nice chap too. Told me he joined the RNAF in 1980 & started on helicopters. He was one of the Grasshoppers helicopter display team in 1985.

That's what all aircraft owners do LOL Grin

Not surprised with the costs involved nowadays. Without people like him we wouldn't get to see all these wonderful vintage aircraft.
