A Buffet lunch and a speech from the BMFA Chairman in the large marquee
A Spitfire and Hurricane made three low passes over the centre on Friday
The main runway was in action all three days with scale models
Tethered cars were run on the track on Sunday. Difficult to see at speed of just under 100 mph – just follow the sound and the smell of diesel
