Popped over to Compton Abbas on Bank Holiday Monday for a couple of hours. Never been before although its only an hour up the road. We were pleasantly surprised, great access, beautiful countryside and a busy airfield. And a very nice café Lots of GA activity, but these three caught my eye. Well worth a visit if you are in the area. Thanks for looking.

Re: Compton Abbas Bank Holiday Monday
Thannks for the kind comments chaps, much appreciated
Roger, everyone in the West Country knows the true bandits are Cornish, have you seen the price of a pasty and a pint in Newquay!!
Also, its well known in the South West that everyone from Somerset works at Westlands/Agusta/Leonardos or whatever they're called this week
Mind you, everyone from Dorset has moved there in the last 10 years from the sarf east

Re: Compton Abbas Bank Holiday Monday
Phil , thanks for the great shots . But I'm biased !
It's Compton in the Clouds , and Compton in the Cross wind today ; so I'm playing catch up on FC . Didn't expect to see these , a good mate in front of Harvard and last Chippy ; and myself in back of 69-1 , with another good mate up front .
Paddyboy , ' Drunken ' ... 'fraid that's 'wot happens when a Naarfick Boi 'larns' a ' Wessex ' lad on a tailwheel differences course .
More likely was a Compton x-wind again ; well that's my excuse . And all a long time ago from 'Colt in the '60s ,
although a Chippy + X-wind
= a 'Frightning .
rgds condor .

Weathered T-6 looks excellent.
In this world there's two kinds of people, my friend. Those with loaded guns, and those who dig. You dig.
Re: Compton Abbas Bank Holiday Monday
the T-6, i think it is actually an SNJ was in Italy, Sardinia? earlier this year for filming a Catch 22 re make
with a couple of B-25's etc, think it is a HBO or Net flicks TV series , hence it weathered look
