Not easy to always differenciate between residents and visitors. This is my list of aircraft thought to be visitors to the Fly-in, rather than normal Barton residents flying.

A busy afternoon, although the gusty wind made approaches difficult for some pilots, and cool/downright cold for visitors. Fortunately the rain avoided Barton, but a little longer 'sunny intervals' would have been welcome.

The large funfair distracted totally from the fly-in/open day atmosphere. Clearly this event has grown greatly in terms of ground attractions and caught the organisers out as parking space was at a premium.

I arrived around 1150 and left at around 1530. In that time logged around 50 visitors, including a few of the helicopters (but could have missed a few early departers/late arriving aircraft).
