This morning we left the cottage in Cirencester just after 7.45 a.m. and just as well we did, because today is one of the two busy weekend days at RIAT. We had to queue for a short time as we approached Fairford airfield by car, and for a longer time as we waited in a slow moving line through security. But we were in our seats in the grandstand by the time the flying display started at 10 a.m. There was a heavy shower as we went through security but the day brightened up exponentially and by lunchtime it was very sunny and very hot and muggy. I spent quite a bit of time watching the flying display from the grandstand but when it got very hot I took myself into the shade beside the FRIAT tent and still had a good view of the flying display. I had a baked potato with cheese and onion for lunch and it was delicious. James was so happy watching the aeroplanes; by the end of the day his face and arms and especially his knees, looked rather pink because he spent almost all of his time in the grandstand in full sunshine. It was a great day, and later we had a delicious tapas dinner in La Bobina.
