Hello Herbert,
Thanks for the comments. I counted 10 Chipmunks in total,
G-AMUF / WB654 / WB711 / WD310 / WK514 / WP800 / WP896 / WP903 / WP971 / WP973 (as G-BCPU)
It certainly has been a bad year for weather, on the plus side though had it been Saturday or Monday I doubt anything would have made it so I guess I should be thankful for that. I think we can also add the show at Mollis, Switzerland to the list as they couldn't put up there big Hunter flypast because of the weather. The thing is it's been glorious all July but we never seem to have many small events then due to Farnbourgh and RIAT I presume, which seems a bit silly as they are for different markets really. I suppose as August is the second wettest month of the year in England we shouldn't be to surprised that events this month are bad. I hope it's good for Little Gransden on Sunday, lots of Chippy action, formation, solo, limbo dancing!
As for global warming, well I guess we could start a whole new thread for that but one thing I have noticed this year is that around Cambridge we seem to be getting a kind of tropical pattern to the weather were it builds up allday and then at 3.00 all hell lets loose.
Keep up the good work.
Dave
