A unique fly past when we went to collect the Hurricane from Duxford with the Spartan executive #avgeek #aviation

Yellow marks the area at our Museum where the Prototype Mosquito was originally built

I posted the other day about an A26 flying over the house.. I can reveal we have it displaying for us at littlegransdenairshow.co.uk

Some great cars at the nsra.org.uk show at Shuttleworth

A nice day for teaching on the Tiger Moths the Cambridge Flying Group at Shuttleworth

Whilst my friend did some refresher training with the Spartan Executive owner I took the opportunity to get some time on the wing in the RV8

The first time in 6 years we have had both Spartan Executives flying together from Little Gransden . Time for some display practice before littlegransdenairshow.co.uk
