Comet G-ACSS takes to the skies again 1st Aug 2014

[lrv890]

Just a quick follow up on my last post re the Comet at Shuttleworth
It finally took to the skies this morning , which I missed as I was working . I did hear it go over though
So after lunch I call in just as Dodge Bailey was climbing into the cockpit , after a few minutes he started up and did and brilliant few passes which I hope he replicates on show days
I finally get to see it in the air again after too many years , I still remember it flying in the late 80's
Anyway enough talking here are the photos
