Hi Guys,
For any of you who might be in the area and interested, I shall be displaying my RF4D RedHawk at this show on Sunday May 1st.
Yours, Bob

Regrettably, for reasons beyond my control, I have had to drop out from displaying aerobatics at Abingdon, although I do still hope to attend the event.

Hi Everybody,
I've been told that the Chinook & Puma couldn't make it to the Abingdon Show this weekend because of a contractual cock-up, so I'm delighted to say I shall be there after all.
If you're there, do come and talk to me about Wagon's smart new Oratex fabric covering.
Fourniers fourever!
Yours, Bob

I had a great day at the Abingdon Air show yesterday. It was good to meet up with former Fournier ace Pete Wells.
Next event, René's birthday next weekend.
Then maybe a summer in France.
Fourniers rule!
Yours, Bob

Richard Hall was able to take some great shots with his super-long lens, despite less than perfect weather and the CAA/MAA's ridiculous insistence on waving flypasts being far away from the crowd at 150 metres

Nice Picture, Bob. WAGN is looking nice and tidy but I do wish you'd put a proper tailwheel on her. I know why you don't but to my eyes that ball bearing you have back there just looks wrong.

Nice picture Bob,
thanks for that and god job of getting AWGN back in the air. Pete did a splendid job with the carbon canopy frame of SE-XST (former G-AVNX) so I am eternally grateful to him for that. Looking forward to seeing all at Amboise!
May the 4's be with you/ Jörgen
