Hangar collapse

There has been an ongoing saga about Hangar 3 at Old Sarum for a few years. This is a WWI hangar that is listed but has been left to fall in to a state of disrepair amidst a planning campaign to develop the airfield including the addition of housing. Sadly storm Isha last weekend caused its collapse.There are calls for it to be fully restored but it remains to be seen if it actually happens.
Here it is a few years ago not looking pristine but at least in one piece.

Sywell Air Show

This is a new event on the calendar and is sounding like a successor to Flying Legends. Only time will tell but a decent aircraft line up has been announced and is being added to so I have taken advantage of the early bird discount and got tickets for the Saturday.

Heading north

This Jaguar, a long term resident of Cosford and caught here about 5 years ago, was dismantled last month and moved to a new home at RAF Lossiemouth.
