We arrived yesterday, did a practice in the afternoon when it was a bit cooler and less gusty.
Had pizza and beer with the Museum guys and then slept in the condos out back.
Woke up to WIND.
We were originally a four ship of Ragwings: Pup, Tiger, Cadet and the Auster.
Because of the forecast and actual winds, the biplanes cancelled and we elected to do the display solo with takeoff from nest to our tiedown point and then straight into wind. This was then abbreviated to a takeoff, downwind, flypast and departure. Rough ?, just a bit.
Here is a picture of the old girl amongst friends. Yes, the AEROPLANE !

David, that certainly was a smart looking Auster of Grahams, do you know what became of it ?.
Deborah has a website of Ozzie Austers and would like to have permission to add it to the archives.
