Gunpowder Trophy @ Leicester 10-08-2013

After Husbands Bosworth we headed to Leicester to see the entrants to the Gunpowder Trophy aerobatics contest, sadly some of the arguably more interesting entrants hadn't put in an appearance on the day leaving a slightly reduced field of entrants. A look around the hangars was possible with a hi-vis jacket & asking in the Aero Club reception.

A very friendly reception here, after asking in the control port-a-cabin we were given permission to walk up to the grid where the competition gliders were waiting to be launched later in the day.
