Nice pictures and it's great to see what certainly looks like Flt Lt Anthony 'Parky' Parkinson still knocking about in pic 3!

Nice set.

The weather was certainly ‘chalk n cheese’.

Some great shots, it's an airfield that I've not visited for nearly thirty years. It had been under threat of closure in the years before, but has survived. The Jackeroo is a bit of a rarity.

That's a very nice set. The weather played ball on the Sunday for you by the look of things, super location at Compton Abbas as well.

Fantastic shots, I've not managed to get up there since the airfield ownership change. Good to see nice photos are still possible!
