Great pics Martin......the Yak pilot looks a good age to be handling that beast but good on him for not choosing something more sedate! and the PA-23 Geronimo conversion just never looks right...

As a footnote I would like to thank Bill aka Deteulada for providing the "heads up" on this event. I gave up light aircraft some years ago and have not been

to a Fly-In for a long while. The weather was ideal for flying and photography, and yes I enjoyed it. I have been an aviation enthusiast for over

40 years and believe it or not, this was my first visit to Sleap, when I eventually found it. I was suprised by the sheer number of hangers most

of which were firmly locked. Never the less I logged 65 aircraft, the highlights being the Yak C-11, the ex Portuguese Airforce Do27, two Jungmanns,

a Junmeister, a Bird Dog and two Huskies a relatively new type to me. The based Navajo G-OUCP was unusual in having three bladed props and

winglets. No point in listing lots of registrations the combined photographs give a good idea as to what was there. Glad you enjoyed them.

Nice to see Graham also - it must be about three years since our paths last crossed.
