Nice eclectic selection of types there. Looks like the weather played ball for a change. Given its age I imagine the BA Swallow reminds you that feet are not just for walking on, there'll be plenty of adverse yaw in the turns and plenty of rudder will be needed for balanced turns.
Unbelievable,all these old buses and coaches built here in Britain,we led the world in bus and coach production and now apart from Dennis Alexander I don’t think we manufacture a bus chassis anymore there all Scania,Volvo and various other foreign chassis manufacturers like our truck industry. DAF using the Leyland factory to assemble trucks that are owned by Paccar an American company,whatever happened to our manufacturing industries???. It’s no wonder this country is going down the drain.
You have my sympathy then. I love GA and airshows and am lucky enough to live under the circuit of a busy local airfield. Unfortunately it's becoming increasingly populated by plastic tadpoles. Traditional machines like this are rare visitors, the best I can hope for is the occasional Chipmunk, Tiger Moth or maybe if I'm lucky a Harvard or Yak 52.
A reminder of when buses were coach-painted so beautifully and the local company names and liveries complemented the area. Today, most buses are mobile eyesores with names devised by dopey marketing exeutives.
