The aircraft is flown in Royal Navy colours as a tribute to Canadian pilots who flew the type with the Royal Navy in WW2. An unprecedented appearance of visiting warbirds, mixed with a few classic civil aircraft, was blessed with great weather. Free admission and the sun in the back made it an excellent day out for the family and photographers alike. The next Open House will be held on 20 September, with hopefully a fully restored Sabre waking up the usually quiet airport!
