The first fly-in of 2014 at Breighton for the Real Aeroplane Club was on Sunday 13th April. A gusty wind threatened to spoil the fun but thankfully blew down the runway avoiding a crosswind. Over 50 aircraft visited and the sun shone making it a great start to the year.

The Yorkshire Air Museum is situated next to Elvington airfield a few miles from the centre of York. It aims to be a living memorial to all the Allied Air Forces personnel who operated from Yorkshire during the Second World War. There are many exhibits including original WWII buildings, uniforms, vehicles and aircraft including a reconstruction of a Halifax bomber. These photographs have been taken at many visits to the museum.

Held over the weekend on the 2/3rd of August 2008 the Aeronautical Pageant at Breighton did not attract many flying visitors due to bad weather in other parts of the country. Locally there was a mixture of showers and sunny spells with the weather slowly improving on Sunday afternoon. Highlights included a close formation flypast of the Magister, Arrow Active and Jungmeister and a visit by a former Yugoslavian Air Force Soko P-2 Kraguj.

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.

The April Fly-in was well attended with lots of visiting aircraft. There was a clear blue sky over much of the surrounding area but unfortunately Breighton suffered from a hazy background which is not the best for aircraft photos. Still the calm conditions were very welcome.
