Outstanding displays by both pilots. What day

Show finished, 10 mins later it rained. Even the heavens had a few tears.

Will never forget this. Can't wait for Glynn's. That'll stay here

It was really good. I met up with five others from kiwisim and got excellent flybys at the end of the runway. Much better then what the crowds would have got. Certainly better than the last few events at Ardmore.

Traffic was worse than I think they expected, it was crazy gettin in but fairly good getting out with traffic management at the intersections.

Blocking forward to seeing what will turn up at the international show they are hosting in jan over three days.

I was there at 7am, went back to town and back in the gate at 8.30. Prime spot for the day on the grss just up fron the VIP tent.

Tear in the eye on the first flyby.......wife laughed

Armistice in Cambridge
20 hours ago
YES - we can now reveal that it IS the MOSQUITO!!!!!!!! It has taken a considerable amount of planning to achieve it, but YES the Mosquito will be making an appearance on the Sunday of the event. And as we have a lake, it can come along the shoreline quite low (and perhaps recreate the Dambruster's raid over the Karapiro dam). Details to follow, but expect the appearance early Sunday afternoon on the Sunday of the event.

And Keith Skilling was pilot for the second flight - AK Intl back to Ardmore I believe.

The days flying saw Dave fly the first flight from Ardmore and land at Auckland International, flight was 45 minutes long, we flew back to Ardmore in the Trojan when the Mossie had safely touched down.
Keith then flew it for 30 minutes and landed back at Auckland International.
Dave then flew it back to Ardmore and landed with a challenging crosswind and handled things beautifully.

The owner would like it flying for his major airshow at Virginia in the US at the start of May so it will be well and truly gone but the time Easter comes.

All the success to the US shows then and course there are more to be hatched from Ardmore
