Vulcan flying north along M1 at J27 just past 4pm today. We've been to two airshows to see it to no avail. Then get to see it fly over standing on my own backyard!!

| Two Tonkas at 4 this morning just skimmed the rooftop of the house. If I get a hold of that pilot I will clip his wings. |

a couple of CH-146 Griffon helicopters flew in yesterday quite low and fast on their approach, it was a real treat as I was on lunch break!

Two solid days of great flying weather ! B-25s, P-51s, Skyraiders , a p-38 , a Wildcat in RN markings, Mig-17 & 15 , F-86 plus all the usual modern stuff . The best free entertainment of the year . Of course it helps that I live 10 minutes away . I'll have some pics in the reference section in the next few days .
