Grimsby - don't bother going there as the road network is designed by an idiot with a traffic light fetish!

Poor man's airshow has been good this weekend with a Spitfire and Breitling biplanes yesterday!
Thank you admin for moving my post to the most appropriate 'slot.'

The Meteor NF11 was OTT returning to Coventry/Baginton a couple of hours ago too.

I opted for a visit to Duxford in the end. The family wanted to have a good look around the museum as well, so we made a day of it.
558 came in nice and low from the West with a pass, did a turn over the M11 and headed back in across the airfield towards the AAM , at which point the engines spooled up and howled like only a Vulcan can as 558 climbed away! The day was made by that moment alone :thumbs: :clap: :thumb: .

And there's plenty more where that came from!
