Final preparations for the show today – and we really really hope the weather tomorrow is as good as today … everything is crossed!! The runway and the parking area has been swept – TWICE – so should be ok for all our display aircraft. Can’t wait to see them all here – what a wonderful collection we have … P40 Kittyhawk; Spitfire; 2 x P51 Mustangs; Extra 300; Harvard; Yak 52; Dukes of Cassutt …. wow!! Mum has enlisted her army of helpers to bring everything over – cor these boxes of calendars are heavy!!
Uncle Phil has also been busy with the organisation of the Shipdham crew – we have some nice men who are marshalling our aircraft; we also have 2 other nice men – Duncan & Glen – who are going to do the radio for us; and we have the RAF helicopter coming in to fly the ATC cadets … wonder if I can hitch a ride in it??! I have been helping mum bag up the sweeties to sell & I was doing a very good quality control check … until she stopped me – ooops!! Can’t wait for tomorrow – going to get an early night so that it comes quickly …!!
