This Years Moment

A tricky choice this year. The Festival Of Speed at Goodwood was great, but tiring. A first visit to Old Warden to see the Shuttleworth Spring air display, (what a beautiful setting that is!). The Silverstone classic included a Santana concert, (another tiring day.). A packed out Cosford Airshow. The replica FW190 at Legends. All good memories.
My Favourite photo of the past year was of MH434 sweeping in at Legends, (of course). Second was the Veyron Pur Sang at Prescott Esses, followed by the Buchon and the FW190 appearing to be welded together again at Legends. However my actual moment of the year remains so vivid that I can still picture it, hear it, almost smell it.

Fathers Day, Kemble, the Tin Triangle, what else?



After stooging around away in the distance distracting everyone for ten minutes, (must have been weird for whoever was displaying at the time, 30,000 people all looking off to the side), 558 started her approach. At the same time the sound of Holst’s ‘Mars- Bringer of War’ came on the tannoy. A perfect fit. So perfect that I expect it every time I see her.
Moment of 2009 for certain.
