    04/07/09 - Waddington Air Show

    A very disappointing show this year with the static padded out with civvies. For the second year the Vulcan failed to fly. Apparently the CAA Certificate of Airworthiness ran out during last week and they forgot to put in the paperwork to renew it, incompetent or what. At least the weather was good this year with lots of hot sunshine, apart from arrivals Friday when it was overcast and hazy.
