Shuttleworth Season Premiere - the old timers - Wren flies circuits, Triplane & Boxkite

Most of my pictures were the same as those from Seamus and not as good so I thought that I would show the ones he didn't stay for.

After some of the visiting a/c had departed the wind had dropped sufficiently to let a few of the 'oldies' to get airborn.

One of the highlights (despite the poor light!) was the English Electric Wren.

Just after a long take-off it started a circuit just a few feet of the ground and continued round climbing as it went. An amazing sight

Very nice indeed.  I am glad you stayed on and thanks for posting.  Very good pictures of the Avro and the Boxkite against the blue sky.  I would imagine the Wren can only get airborne when it is completely calm.🙂
