Thanks Pete, I was pleased with them, the light was the best I'd seen at an old warden show for a long time.
I hadn't gone to the southern end before when they were using 02 and that was a worthwhile walk for the take offs and landings

A lovely set Andy. Highlights for me are the AV36 glider in amongst its smoke trails, the Blenheim topside and the gladiator.
