The weather during 2012 resulted in many events being cancelled across the country so it seemed a little optimistic to expect the planned pre-hibernation fly-in to benefit from good weather but the day turned out to be one of the best of the year weatherwise which resulted in many pilots flying in. It was a beautiful sunny day with little wind. Ideal for flying.

After bad weather caused the cancellation of the planned Wings and Wheels event the decision to try again at a later date in combination with the planned Helicopter fly-in proved to be a wise one. There was some cloud but as the day progressed the sun shone and there were plenty of visiting aircraft. The BBMF Spitfire arrived dead on time and gave a superb display.

Thankfully the weather justified the use of Summer in the name of this months fly-in. Breighton however did seem to be in a bubble as storm clouds could be seen in the distance and this kept the activity mainly local. There was however plenty of flying the highlight of which has to be Taff flying inverted.

Held on the Sunday of the Bank holiday weekend the "May-hem" fly-in was well attended. At times there were some dark clouds but generally fine weather with some sunshine made it a pleasant Spring day. Due to the direction of the light breeze (which did add a little chill) the aircraft came in to land from the direction of the road/hedge which gives a better view. Most of the Real Aeroplane aircraft managed to get airborne at some point during the day.

This was the second planned Fly-in at Breighton in 2012. The earlier March one suffered from bad weather but April 1st started with a gentle breeze and blue sky. The wind did add a little chill to the proceedings but it turned out to be a lovely April day with lots of aircraft and pilots visiting.

Sunday 18th September started off sunny with a gentle breeze. Later on heavy showers could be seen in the distance but for the most part the sun shone for the Helicopter Fly-In.
An RAF Merlin helicopter did a flypast but I arrived after that but in time to see a Bell 47 and the new Robinson R66.
A collection was made for the Yorkshire Air ambulance that raised over £700 for this worthy cause.
