Clear blue skies and soaring temperatures set the scene for a perfect airshow weekend. A packed program of displays including the first one at Breighton for the Buchon meant that the bumper crowds on both days had a fun filled time.

Sunday October 1st 2006 was the date of the last air display of the year at Old Warden. The first part of the display was hampered by heavy rain and a thunderstorm with plenty of lightning meaning that some aircraft could not fly. As soon as conditions improved there was plenty of flying and thanks must go to the pilots, commentator and all involved for still managing to put on a superb display.

Sunday 2nd June was the date for the Jolly June Jaunt (incorporating Annie's Way Charity fly-in). The weather was kind with sunshine and blue sky encouraging many pilots to visit with many different types of aircraft. One of the highlights was a Slepcev 'Storch', a 7/10 scale replica of the WWII Luftwaffe spotter aircraft.

A sunny day meant plenty of action at Breighton for the Radial Engined Fly-in and at home day. Visitors included two Harvards and Mustang "Janie".

The Yorkshire Air Spectacular 2005 Giant Model Rally at the Ouse Gliding Club - Rufforth near York. Held over the weekend of 13/14th August. The weather was very poor on the Saturday with ever shortening dry spells giving way to heavy showers. Thanks to the enthusiasm of the participants there was still lots of flying and special mention must go to Colin Hammond who kept the cheerful and informative commentary going through a very wet afternoon.
