If he'd had his way we'd have been there at 6:00 a.m.! But we got there at a more reasonable 8:15.
It was a good but tiring morning. Abigail has been before but it was Niaves first time. She's always been quite sensitive to loud noises (except her own!) but she coped very well.
Grant loves aeroplanes (and helicopters) but most of his enthusiasm centered around this one which, I think, is called the Gripen. Very impressive!!
In flight:
There were some other impressive, though less noisy aerobatic displays:
It's hard to get good pictures with my camera, it doesn't have quite enough zoom.
There was a lot to see on the ground too, much, much more than we could ever actually see but we browsed around and found a few things of interest.
And embarked on a quest to find the biggest wheels! Measured in relation to Niave. This was about the biggest we saw but I'm pretty sure there were bigger.
Abigail even found some puppies to play with:
And Niave found a man to resuscitate!!
At the end Grant emerged from the last hangar with bags of memorabilia! Caps, badges, posters, pens, books...the list goes on, and on.
There was so much to see, a lot more than I have mentioned, tanks, parachutists, divers, army trucks of every variety, fire engines, helicopters big and small, aeroplanes of all descriptions.
We were exhausted by the time we got home but we had a good time.
