RIAT 2024 Day Two

Back to RIAT today for Day 2 and although it’s cloudier it is still very warm. We set off just before 8 a.m. and the traffic was very busy, nose-to-tail in fact, but we still got parked at the air show in less than twenty-five minutes due to our close proximity to the airfield; Poulton is only four miles from Fairford. 

Back in Cambuslang, Davie and Chanel went round to check on how Tom was getting on; they found him hiding under our bed; probably that feels a safe place for him since the head cone prevents him from being able to see behind him. Flora is still avoiding him, she doesn’t like the head cone at all and seems not to recognise him! 

We soon got established in the FRIAT enclosure and had coffee and breakfast wraps. I spent a bit more time sitting up in the stand to watch the aeroplanes today because it wasn’t quite so baking hot. I also read some more Sherlock Holmes; I’m getting towards the end of it. It was another very pleasant day and James took lots of photographs as usual. He showed me some of them over dinner at the Falcon Inn which is just across the road from our cottage in Poulton. Dinner was absolutely delicious.
