Looks like a good event Dave, only needed one of the Austers from your list G-AHAO which would have been a massive gap filler for me- also a few of the visitors. But an excellent turnout from the Auster and Terrier owners. Thanks for sharing.

Happy Days

Bob,the Easy Raider has an owners address in South Wales and I think two of the other visitors came in from Wales as well,haven't checked everything off yet but I believe I made three,so happy with that.

Yes it is based at Abergavenny-Hardwick The Byre- My beloved and I stayed at a hotel near to the airfield a few years back, when we went to see the Killers at the Liberty Stadium at Swansea. The field was locked up when we stopped off whilst heading home, but noted a couple of Sky Rangers parked up on the grass.

Happy Days
