One of the most popular small air shows which has been going for almost twenty years. 2011 had its usual regular participants such as Maurice Hammond with his pair of Mustangs, Justin Needham with the Cessna Bird Dog and one of the largest aircraft seen at Gransden the Avro Lancaster from the Battle of Britain Flight. These aircraft were joined this year by the Aurora from Canada and Peter Holloway demonstrating the low speed handling of his Fieseler Storch. Another first at Gransden was formation fly-pasts by a pair of Spartans accompanied by a Beechcraft Staggerwing. Also the pair of Pitts Specials carried out a well synchronised and fast moving display. Other displays were carried out by the Piston/Jet Provost team, the SWIP team in their Twisters and the usual polished aerobatics performed by Mark Jefferies in his Extra EA-300SC. Weather conditions were not by any means perfect but with some superb flying and the usual vintage cars, tractors and motorcycles, there was something here for everyone.
