Red Arrows

We have just said goodbye to our youngest grandaughter (4) who has been staying with us for a week.

Her stops include some "must dos", one of which is going to one of the small airfields nearby and watching the small planes land and take off.

We did Sywell this time. It was a beautiful day. I was explaining how brave young men learned to fly there a long time ago etc. etc. "Planes like this?" she asked. I told her about the Red Arrows thinking that it might be easier to undertsand. Lo and behold the very next morning she was treated to "her own flypast" right over our heads at home. She was mesmerised, they seemed to skim the treetops in perfect formation - amazing!!!!
