If your coming today or Saturday bring a Brolly at the moment there won’t be much flying today, Saturday looks a bit better Sunday is OK

2 good days of arrivals and validating displays weds and thurs.
Is there much to look at, whilst flying is cut back, because of weather.

I worked on Sea Harriers. The old school armorers who worked on Bucs and Phantoms referred to the Harrier as the ‘plastic pig’.
Short, squat and f***ing slow.

Hope the cloud-base doesn't diminish proceedings.

I bloody loved the Harrier, still disappointed the UK dropped them / sold them off.

Everyone going, enjoy the sights, sounds and smells of all the flying beauties ....
