I must have just missed you Les as I was there between 2 heavy showers about that time. Copped 6 out of those. I will go again tomorrow as there a few I need to photograph.
Weather looks better tomorrow.

Sue and I took a chance on going but it started thundering and chucking it down on the way there. I took some photos as I cannot make it tomorrow.
We are hoping for good weather next week as we are hoping to visit three gliding competitions.
Sorry we missed you but we did meet the daughter of the person who the aerobatic trophy is named after.
