Why, they fly a 9 ship formation - what else! The largest formation many of us have been in - too turbulent at low level for a fly-by, but we managed a few pictures from within the formation. Thanks to Myke for sorting the brief!
Nice pics, Pete. Also impressive is the number of them that are tail draggers - looks about half your group. Recently trekked across England along the Hadrian Wall Path, and saw what may have been an RV at altitude, so hard to say. Got distracted when an RAF Tornado came screaming by the crags near Steel Rigg.
As a curiosity, how much is fuel there?
Also you can't have a flying club with out a nissen hut. I learned to fly at Baginton and the Coventry Aeroplane Club used to operate out of a nissen hut.

RV-6 Down for Mag SB
Should be back in the air at the weekend
Just noticed that the airliners.net search link has picked up a few non-North Weald photos, but most are at North Weald. Hover cursor over image for info.

Thanks for the info.
I have dreams (or fantasies) of flying my RV-6 back to the UK one day - perhaps I'll drop in

What do Brits do on a Saturday afternoon?
