A much quieter Saturday than last weekend but lovely skies greeted us rather than cloud and rain…

A decidedly grey and damp start to the days proceedings with the rain and wind providing near constant company throughout the day.

A beautiful sunrise at the airfield this Saturday and a chance for some stunning photos

Normal service was resumed, not only being back to a usual Saturday but also the weather… cold and grey and time to dig out the coats!

A very busy weekend indeed this weekend prepping the pan and XM655 for her Members Day. In fact, some of our volunteers were even there on Friday!

Lots of jobs to get the aircraft ready for our Members Day next Sunday, and a couple of booked visits kept us busy at the weekend.

A day of servicing duties and maintenance, together with a small number of pre-booked visits lay ahead when the volunteers arrived at the pan on Saturday.
