Brimpton is a small 550 metre grass airfield between Reading and Newbury. Yesterday was their annual fly-in, and there were some interesting aircraft both on the ground and in the air...

A rather nice Luscome (often seen at my home base, Enstone too!)

Interesting chap this; it's a Turbulant, and one of four here. More later...
Oh, and Jon might like the reg! :lol:

The Saab is available for FS9 (including a paint of that particular aircraft), as is the Luscombe. I haven't seen any of the others though (Rick Piper has done a Jet Provost, but not a Piston Provost)

I'd love a FS version of the Rollason Turbulent: It's one of those old 'gentlemanly' aircraft where you can just putter along at 500ft and 60kts, waving at the people on the ground stuck in Bank Holiday traffic jams... :lol:

Jeez that Turbulent is cool, like a go-kart with wings.
