International Auster Club Fly-In
Abbots Bromley
August 30, 2008

Yeatshall Farm, Abbots Bromley was host to the International Auster Club's fly-in. On arriving there wasn't really a welcome as such, you were free to park-up and wander up to a roped off area. Photography was virtually unhindered in a very attractive setting. This small quiet farm strip has a distinctive dip in the grass runway and a hangar by the farm itself with a few based aircraft. |
