Breighton - Radial Engine Fly-in and RAC "At Home" Day. A very wet day with grey skies and almost constant drizzle. The Mustang was due to depart to an airshow but due to the weather stayed at home and put on an excellent display with the Hurricane.

Initially planned as a "Vans Fly-In" the strong crosswind meant that very few aircraft flew into Breighton. All was not lost however as the resident aircraft (including the Buchon) put on a fine display and our thanks go to the Breighton pilots for "saving the day".

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.

After the heavy rain of the previous weeks it was a relief that the Breighton International Fly-In could actually go ahead. The planned Military Vehicle display had to be cancelled but although the weather on the Saturday started off with grey skies and a fairly strong breeze as the day went on the wind dropped and the sun shone. Sadly Sunday was a return to the previous bad weather and around lunchtime a new weather front moved in bringing constant rain that kept flying to a minimum. Still the weekend of flying was very worthwhile overall for the visitors with three Mustangs in total for the warbird fans.

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.
