F2b trio
July 15th saw a unique formation take to the air at Old Warden. The aircraft were Peter Jackson's D8084/G-ACAA, now in New Zealand, Guy Black's G-AANM/D7889, now sold to America, and the Collection F2b D8096.
The idea came from Peter Jackson and it is thanks to his and Guy Blacks generosity that the event took place at Old Warden and Duxford the previous weekend. The organisation and logistics were taken on by Skysport Engineering.
