I am delighted to announce that I have been booked to display ML407 at theShuttleworth sunset Display on Saturday 23rd September. ML407 and I will open the show at 16.30 having arrived earlier in the day at around 12.30.
For me this is quite historic as the last time I flew in a display at Shuttleworth was in August 1973 aged 21 with Nick at the controls of our Ried and Siegrist Desford prone pilot testing aircraft which Nick had restored to flying condiiton that year and I used to sit cross legged in the front pp position.
Hope to see many of you there it is a truly wonderful place.
Carolyn

Carolyn,
Have already commented on the display board but will say again that Old Warden's curved display line is something you have to experience.
I hope to be there too as I am on leave that week unless someone at home has other plans !!!
Regards
Andy D

Hooray! This is a show I can get to. For anyone who hasn't experienced a display at OW, it is something special. Bring your picnics and deckchairs.
Hopefully we can have a Mini Gatthering.

I have never been to Old Warden before but was very glad I came along!
What an amazing site and an equally amazing display by Carolyn, it was utterly fantastic.

What a fantastic display.
'407 looked superb going "Round the bend"
Many thanks, Carolyn, for kicking off the show in such a memorable fashion.

I've just found this board and registered.
Carolyn
I'd just like to say on behalf of the SVAS how much we all enjoyed your display and trip to Old Warden last weekend.
I've already been asked several times this week about if and when you're coming back.
Like everyone else, my fingers are crossed that we'll see you again bringing your beautiful Spitfire 'round the bend' at Old Warden.
Thank's for a wonderful display.
Cheers.
Andy.
PS. Steve, your round next time.
