those Chipmunks look great,  and the Yak 55 looks like a whole lot of fun, where is that aeroplane based? |

Great place Ashburton, lots of cool stuff and great people. Looks like the weather was ideal as well. I'm looking forward to getting down there for Great plains fly - In in 2009 - I'll be bringing the Adventurer!

Great photos Alex, the Harrier looks really good there. The F27 is also looking quite sparkly, have they completed the refurbishment?

Superb photos Alex. How many Tiger Moths turned out for the event in the end? Where is that Devon based?
I'd like to get to Ashbuton someday and see their museum. It looks great.
Is that Victor Meldrew in the Yak? ;D

No worries Gavin.
I intended to get to Ashburton with a Tiger but was unable to even leave the ground with the state of the wind yeasterday, its even worse down here today, its absolutely howling.

Probably a dumb question! but
Whats the deal with the Harrier at Ashburton?
Is it there all the time, like a museum piece, or was it a visitor?

The Harrier is owned by the museum trust and was imported from the UK last year and restored. Its certainly an eyecatching exhibit - but it does make you realise how small they are compared to other fast jets. A Skyhawk would make a great companion for it in coming years.....  |
