Well its time for air show and as usual there are queues of traffic (started about three this morning) and its absolutely bucketing down with low cloud so it looks like we'll see nothing.I wish they'd change the date as it always rains for the air show

I used to love watching them fly (at a distance) when I used to live at Avening. A crowd of us would picnic at strange places .. Mind living near the Spanish air dispay team I can't say that I am that enthralled these days :-D

Been watching the aircraft practising for the international show.Living near Fairford where show is held is fantastic ( free show no traffic jams to sit in). Good luck to two of my grandaughters who are in the air cadets and will be attending this weekend
