We did have a civilian glider on static display within the showground, although there are currently 3x Vikings in the 612VGS Hangar on the airside of the airfield and there-fore out of bounds to visitors on Sunday

Many thanks for all your support yesterday and hope you all enjoyed your day with us

The floorpan and avionics bay of the cab is XZ327, I.e. the bits you can't easily swap, the rest come from all over the place - but then Gazelles can be swapped about a la Trigger's Broom very easily!
