Always a highlight in the calendar, there is something about a seaside show that you can't help but enjoy. Being the closest I have to a local seaside venue, Eastbourne has been a semi-regular feature in my agenda for most seasons over the last 10 years or more. https://www.flickr.com/photos/127965535@N04/49195188176/in/photostream/ Normally opting for one day, generally … Continue reading Eastbourne Airshow 2019

Well Flying Legends is over again for another year. I think I've lost count but I believe that this year's event marked by 17th or 18th consecutive Flying Legends. Year in, year out this show has had some kind of magic that just never seems to fade. https://www.flickr.com/photos/127965535@N04/48301499487/in/dateposted/ Line ups shrink and grow and star … Continue reading Flying Legends 2019 – Photo Post
