A Very Damp Barton 09-06-2012

Hi All

Despite the rather heavy rain during the day today Barton managed to fair pretty well on the visitors front, in fact visiting aircraft movements considerable outnumbered based aircraft movements!



Firstly the 'Trig Aerobatic Team' diverted in from Blackpool due to poor weather, this poor weather had reached Barton by the time I shot the pictures!

This one really shows how much it was raining!

I managed not to photograph any of them Stephen. I didn't even see the Pitts! I got some stick for never even having heard of the band on board G-LAWX. Good photos as usual.

Cheers

Evening Shaun

The band were even a band on-board LAWX this time! (rather than the manufactured of previous visits!)

We weren't even going to bother putting the radio on it was that grim but we decided that it was hardly going to be a distraction & we were very glad we did put it on in the end!

At least the weather sealing on my 24-105 got a nice run out getting shots of the Pitts! ;D

Cheers
