Decided to go to Farnborough today. Bit of a sparse display for £28, I thought, but one or two lovely moments:

No introduction required....

The sound of half a dozen Merlins passing always lifts my heart. This trio passed by my house at about 500 feet - sneaking along below the cloud on Friday evening while I was spannering. :-*
Also a lovely sight of a DC6 (and the sound! :-* - why don't they make airliners with air cooled radial engines any more).
Fantastic glider aerobatic display too. A continuous sequence of barrel rolls along the length of the runway while on tow. :o Much respect from someone who needs to concentrate just to stay behind the tug.
.. and the LPG'd MV6 got me there and back without missing a beat. :y

It's been done. The Meteor engined SD1 that appears in Practical Performance Car burns LPG, IIRC.
