Arriving back at RIAT Fairford almost two years to the day after having departed from there to suffer the accident with 99+32 at nearby Kemble, was especially moving and a very happy moment indeed!

The occasion was all the more dramatic as low cloud over the Channel delayed our arrival to late evening Friday, with the Bronco being the very last aircraft to arrive at RIAT 2014. The landing is very worthwhile to remember as the Bronco was "sandwiched" in between the departure of the Gnat display team (with smoke) and the 50th Anniversary Red Arrows, who were taking-off to conduct a fly-by in together over the Gala Dinner starting at 19:00 precisely.

A long taxy along the full static display line followed to position the Bronco quite centrally in the good company of the Gazelle Squadron display team and a turbine Islander.

Many fans and well wishers came by over the weekend for a friendly chat and to catch up with the latest news. Your support has been great and it is good to be back!

With special thanks to Tom Gibbons, Norm Webster and Roger Hargreaves for taking care so well.
