At 11.44am - what is
in my opinion the 2nd most beautiful aircraft ever built, touched
down at Manor Farm. Piloted by Pete John - it is of course the
North American P-51D Mustang. |

| 12 Noon
was the scheduled time for the serving of lunch and as Pete John
finished his post flight checks and made his aircraft safe.
Our chef and his catering staff swung into action beginning what
would prove to be an extremely hectic couple of hours for them
all. |
 |
 |

Our caterers for the
day were the Swindon based firm of - 
- run personally by Chef, "Robert Collis" |
 |
 |
| The weather
had held so far! - and although the ominous dark clouds had been
passing overhead all morning, they had very kindly held on to
any rain within. As the queue for lunch grew by the minute it
provided a good opportunity for those of us more interested in
aircraft than food - to get really close to the array of parked
hardware and talk to some of their pilots and crew. |

of helicopters filled the air once again, this time announcing
the arrival of members of "The Blue Eagles" display
