Chocs away! 2nd May Bank Holiday
Discussion
We went Sunday. The morning didnt look promising, around lunchtime though the wind blew the clouds away and the sun burnt its way through and the afternoon was baking. It was so hot that I got thoroughly sunburnt. Even today my face is still cracked, blistered and peeling from the weather on Sunday! We had no suncream with us as early Sunday morning travelling indicated rain and lousy weather only, absolutely no inclination of what was to come.
It was a superb day with regards to the flying though. The highlight was absolutely the Great War flying display, I have never seen those aircraft on static, let alone flying display before! OK, granted they were only replicas and 7/8th scale, but still, how many original Fokker triplaces and SE5a's are actually flying today? Wonderul stuff and special metion to the model aircraft display commentator...a chap who I think may have passed immediately into Goodwood legend!
