If your thinking of going to Old Warden for the Season Premier Show this coming Sunday it's a good idea to get yourself a ticket ASAP!!! They have issued a low ticket warning & can't guarantee on the day admission as the place could be up to capacity -

As far as I can remember this has only happened at OW three times before. Twice when the Vulcan was headlining in 2015 & the following year when the Reds appeared for the first time in many years.

I think the promising weather forecast & the Typhoon's debut OW appearance may have something to do with it.

There's always Abingdon Air Day if you can't make Shuttleworth on Sunday of course.

Excellent shots there Martyn from a great show in perfect weather for once.

Here's a few of my pics from the show. Must admit, I do like the Anson's new colour scheme-



Many thanks to CDP & Denis for the company.

Steve

Great shots guys. I thought it was a great show and the weather was a real bonus! Yes, the Anson looks wonderful in its new scheme.
A few from me-

I went to the very first Midlands Air Festival in the grounds of Ragley Hall last Saturday. An lovely venue for what is basically a part airshow & part hot air balloon festival & excellent it was as well.

It's a bit difficult to get decent shots of the aircraft as the display line faces straight into the Sun during the afternoon. Anyway heres a set of photos -


For me though, it was the balloons that really stole the show. Over 65 flew on the Saturday evening (a record 75 at the 5am launch apparently) -

..well, there was a Royal Wedding on that weekend -

This was MASSIVE!! -
