Historic Helicopters Open Day 2021
Historic Helicopters Open Day 2021
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.

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.

Great shots despite the best efforts of the weather.
Re: Historic Helicopters Open Day 2021
Thanks.
It was a good end to the day, but I had my doubts whether there would be any flying activity!
