Not me, as there will be parachuting during the fly-in

Did anybody go?

I popped into Old Sarum mid-afternoon yesterday (in a non-vintage RV) and there weren't any vintage aircraft there. did nobody turn up or had they all gone by 3pm.

must have just missed Martin, we arrived just after 1300, but in my RV as we werent sure of the weather and its easier to outrun the rain in the RV!
Saw you taxi in Dave, we were walking over to see Terry Francis's Escapade/Kid workshop, intending to have a look at you RV on the ways back, but when we came out you were just taking off!
I think there were only 10-15 visitors unfortunately, due to the weather forecast and actual weather anywhere to the east. But we did get a visitor from Guernsey for the fly-in, he had good weather all the way.

I had planned to fly to Sarum from Goodwood, but the Prob40 RASN local TAFs, and the actual rain that quickly turned to sleet and then to snow flurries put me off somewhat, before I left home! There is always another day....

I arrived sometime after 1:30pm and Old Sarum looked little different to any other Sunday with just the odd vintage/classic aircraft there. Sorry to have missed Martin but good to have met others.

The flights there and back were excellent.

The non-attendance of many from the east was understandable, given the weather forecasts (and actuals?).
