Note: the Dominie will be taking passenger flights throughout the day.
Low level pass by the Catalina (time to be confirmed).
All times are approximate and can be changed as required.
Note this is not set in stone and may be subject to small changes, but is a fairly good indication of what is planned to happen during the day. Also note that a lot of these aircraft will be landing at Drury before their displays, so there will be a fair bit of action on the field.
Apart from the flying we will have a Jazz band playing on the deck throughout the day so bring a blanket and a picnic lunch and enjoy the day.

That sounds like it'll be a smashing day's entertainment. I only wish I could get up there, but sadly I won't make it. I hope you guys get good weather for the event.

This morning: low cloud - strong winds - pouring rain!
I suspect it's off.
