Shuttleworth evening 14th May

Recommended Posts

A day that started well with brilliant sunshine and a bright blue sky but ended less so when the wind failed to drop so the Edwardians could not fly and high cloud to the west cut off the evening sun that can light the a/c so well during evening shows.

On display in the paddock was (I think) the world's complement of Miles Magisters

The Shuttleworth Lysander was joined by the one from Duxford

The Comet flew in formation with the Mew Gull and Hawk Speed Six but all were too far apart for a decent picture

An unusual formation - the Hawk Speed Six and the Dessouter

The Sopwith Triplane landed on the short runway because the wind was across the main runway

The five Magisters flew at the end of the show but not as a formation. Only a three and a pair. It was getting gloomy by then
