Hi all,
Delayed log from last years event at the former RAF Abingdon, now Dalton Barracks for the Army. Always a friendly and family feel to this show. Right on my door-step and dogs are welcome too – ideal for my Jet. Sadly the event for 2026 has been cancelled and the countdown has started for when this airfield will succumb to housing development and be no more. Please support the next edition in 2027 if the organisers go for it. My pictures can be seen at;
