Sheila's garden party - Jul 2019.

We had our bi-annual garden party of Sunday and the weather was perfect as was the people that came, a real mix of re-enactors, friends and people from the radio that Sheila works with on her radio show.

Plenty of food and drink and for interested people Bill took a tour over to the local Living History Museum and they all came back full of it and having enjoyed a nostalgic trip back in town.

These are the photos I took on the day to include the fantastic Austin 7 owned by one of the attendees that is in perfect running order.

Royal International Air Tattoo.

RIAT - Royal International Air Tattoo first day of flying but the weather was awful with almost continuous rain and almost no flying as cloudbase down to 800' and below minimal requirements for display flying as one front passed and another one rolled in which also impacted light and tone - managed a few shots though.

Met a really nice couple and the gent was kind enough to programme my scanner so that I could listen to the communications between pilots and tower - well until the batteries died!

Just hope the weather is better for the weekend and also for departure day, fingers crossed.............
