Historic Helicopters Open Day 2021

[Seacat192]

The weather was grim for most of the day, but cleared to allow the majority of the home fleet and a couple of visitors to take off and perform some loose formation flypasts and a short individual display before re-joining the formation.

Thanks.

Near constant rain all day, which didn’t stop until late afternoon.

In turn, all but the final flight were scrubbed.

Excellent, you did well on the static photo's avoiding all of the other photographers crowding the flight line.

[Seacat192]

Thanks Keith.

Sounds like I was lucky.

Realised I'd forgot to upload my photos of the Wasp returning to the site after it had taken part in the final display/flypasts , so here it is:

It was a good end to the day, but I had my doubts whether there would be any flying activity!
