Sleap Aerodrome, Piper / Vintage Fly-In Saturday 20/04/2024

[Airbus A346]

My first Fly-In of the Summer season with near ideal conditions, blue sky, high scattered clouds and a light breeze. The event started slowly but became very busy by lunchtime. The Irish Piper Colt was nice surprise along with the Cessna 185 Skywagon wearing huge bush tyres.
