All was quiet at Fishburn; not surprising, given the murky, dank weather conditions.
The small collection of preserved aircraft has grown by two since I last visited. This Meteor arrived from Tangmere Military Aviation Museum in June 2022. It's a composite of two airframes.

The other 'new' exhibit is this Rallye Club which arrived from the now defunct Manchester Museum of Science and Technology. I've got nothing against Rallyes, but I do wonder why it's considered to be significant enough for preservation, apart from it being nearly as old as me! Can anyone advise? I haven't been able to glean much from the internet.

The preserved Jet Provost wasn't present.
