Summer Fly-In @ Otherton 18-08-2012

With high hopes & a forecast of some nice weather we headed down to Otherton for the Staffordshire Aero Club's summer fly-in... Now this bit is starting to sound like an all too familiar story... When we arrived the weather was perfectly flyable, with lots of blue sky clearly visible, but this was short lived as a bank of low cloud moved up from the south, and then it started raining! A few hardly flyers did make an appearance but it was very slow going, with the airfield being quiet.

Summer Madness Fly-In @ Breighton 05-08-2012

After much looking at weather forecasts & thinking followed by some more looking & thinking we eventually decided to head across the hills to Breighton for their Summer Madness Fly-In. Things started off well but sadly the pace of arrivals wasn't sustained throughout the day, I suspect that was down to the ever increasing  chances of a thunderstorms. Undoubtedly the star of the event was G-ADYS which visited from it's home in North Yorkshire
