brenda Posted August 14, 2021 Report Share Posted August 14, 2021 Evening all, well today was nice to see lots of people catching up on the last few years we have missed out on. Here are a few photos from the halls, Concourse, Pride of ownership, and Race cars. Hopefully more to follow. Mike Redrose group Quote Link to post Share on other sites

brenda Posted August 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2021 Evening Peter, inside the hall when I took the photos no there was not a lot of people around, but outside there was a good gathering of people a lot watching the auto solo. I’ll put more photos on later or when we get back home as the internet is very bad for putting photos on. But personally I think there is a good turnout of people all having a good catch up.

Pete On Friday the place was filling up quickly, hoping for late 2k to early 3k’s over weekend. Hope is eternal, it looking good so far.

Pete I was only there on Saturday, but there were loads of cars there.... spread across marque-parking, cars in the camping area, plus official displays. Personally, probably the most 6’s I have ever seen in one place for a long long time. ..... Andy Edited August 15, 2021 by AndyR100 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

brenda Posted August 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2021 Mick, not good with things that fly in the sky, I was just going of the program. Looks like a Spitfire? Mike Redrose group Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Peter V W Posted August 15, 2021 Report Share Posted August 15, 2021 Good day out, arrived just after 10.10am. The Spitfire was the highlight, sounded fantastic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brenda Posted August 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2021 Evening all our last night at the Malvern Hills Hotel, hope you got home safe and well it’s poring down at this moment, hope the last ones camping don’t get to wet. Mike Redrose group Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lebro Posted August 15, 2021 Report Share Posted August 15, 2021 My only consolation (having missed the Spitfire) is that having a 5 bladed propeller it (I believe) would have had a Griffon engine, not a Merlin, & I prefer the noise of a Merlin. Bob. (still peed off though !) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bob. (still peed off though !) It was definitely a Griffon engine Bob, quite noticeably different in sound and of course much longer visibly. But any viewing of whatever marque of Spitfire is welcome and if it can be advertised early even increases the gate at events. Certainly a crowd drawer.

terry smith Posted August 16, 2021 Report Share Posted August 16, 2021 Hi All As the organiser for the fly pasts, unfortunately we could not include exact details for the programme as we were only informed 24 hrs before the week-end changes of planes and approximate timings. We applied last September and we were lucky to be allocated the Lancaster, but in July was informed the maintenance was not finished. Subsequently the Dakota was allocated to fill the spot. The weekend before Malvern the Dakota had engine problems and the RAF replaced with the Hurricane for Saturday and the Spitfire for Sunday. As you must appreciate the RAF were trying to rearrange their flying programmes in light of the above problems, unfortunately the Hurricane for Saturday was beaten by the weather and time restrictions but I think the spitfire on Sunday more than made up for it.
