[LRflex] Stringbags and aberrations....

Folks
As some of you so rightly pointed out, the Gladiator wasn't a Stringbag! Must be losing my wits in my advancing years!! Aaaarrrgghhh!!! >:o :-[ Profound apologies for the stupid mistake. I'm glad you enjoyed the photographs anyway, and there are still a few to come! :-) And thanks for the positive comments, much appreciated.
Yes, it was a great show, and although the skies weren't so wonderful, all of the previous flying days were actually wet, so one has to be very thankful for small mercies. I hope to go to one of Duxford's flying days next year, and, like Shuttleworth, the last time I went there was some 15 years ago. I was quite amused and bemused to see the Bedford Bagpipe Band playing and marching at Shuttleworth - yes I have some shots - especially as Bedford is better known for its Italian population rather than its Scots. (Many Italian PoWs were employed at the brickworks at Marston Moretaine, just outside Bedford, and stayed on after the war.) Incidentally, the show included some oldtimer cars and motor cycles, of which I also have some photos, including occupants in period costume. I was particularly surprised to see an immaculate FIAT Topolino, the first I have ever seen on the road. Also a Railton, which had belonged to an earlier member of the Shuttleworth family, along with a Crossley (Edwardian), Wolseley (also Edwardian) and others. There was even a WAAF on a pushbike!!! 

It's uplifting to see such fine shows as this, and long may they continue.
Cheers
Keith
