Thanks for your help Rowan...

Nice one Dave.
They have got a bit of everything there, but my favorite is this thing, it has as much style and aerodynamics of a brick :-) , but is strangely interesting, BTW, anyone know what it is called ?

Hi Dave,

Good photos! I made my pilgrimage in Sept. 05. Did you take a flight in the Travel Aire?

I have several good photos of their planes on the field, plus in the hangers. I thought I'd already posted them. I'll get on it.

Unfortunately, it was rainy and windy on my weekend, and not much flying. No warbirds at all.

Fred, weather certainly is a major factor for the airshow. Some of the lighter, and underpowered aircraft, don't fly on windy days.
Andy.... it's a Packard.... but I don't recall what year.

Thats the ticket! Just what I needed for a smile today. Thanks for the trip down Memory Lane.

Stephen, Don't tell me you remember driving one of those Packards..... :-)
I wish I had the Lee-Enfield.... OH did I beg and offer outstanding tips for a ride on that...... :-) :-)
