Our little party in the hangar on Sunday..... we had a lovely meal at the "Buck" before wandering over to the museum...Lovely weather .. thanks for a really good day folks.
Some of the swing dancers. it was very hot in the hangar so they done really well, our feet were tapping..
A silhouette of a couple of the aircraft that did a fly past, as usual they were too fast for me, but in the bottom one you can see a little aircraft just tottling along, wow glad they did not get too close... I missed the helicopters as did not get out of the hangar in time.
Another lovely Sunday a great place to visit, there were a lot of jeeps, vintage cars, stalls and a good amount of people so hope they did well,.
I have put photos up before, but the museum started off about 1972 and was officially opened in May 1976 as a very small place where some enthusiasts had a couple of pieces of aircraft, and held a meeting for volunteers and today it is a great place to visit, and as I have posted before, a lovely walk down to the river, so if you get a chance go and visit.

Yay! Great photo of the Spitfire against a summer sky. I bet the Merlin engine sounded glorious. I can't wait for Goodwood when I'll get to see some myself.
You caught the planes wonderfully with your tiny bonsai camera.
The dance looks great fun, and what a place to dance, right in front of the Lightning. Awesome.
To answer your question, the other plane is a P51 Mustang Mum.
American design but they were crap until they were fitted with Merlin engines and drop tanks. They then had the range to escort the bombers all the way to their targets and come home flying escort.
Happy Birthday for tomorrow. xx
Thanks Phil I knew it began with an M, ha ha...
