Sunday 4th June started with clear blue skies but the cloud soon moved in together with the odd shower. This did not spoil the day at Breighton though with many visiting aircraft and displays by the resident machines leading to an action packed day. Later in the afternoon the blue sky returned.

Initially planned as a "Vans Fly-In" the strong crosswind meant that very few aircraft flew into Breighton. All was not lost however as the resident aircraft (including the Buchon) put on a fine display and our thanks go to the Breighton pilots for "saving the day".

At home June 12th started with a clear blue sky and little wind raising hope that after the last two events at Breighton had suffered from the weather it would be 3rd time lucky. It was not to be. By the time we arrived at Breighton the clouds had arrived and a tricky crosswind was blowing the windsock. Sadly this resulted in few visiting aircraft. Four of the Breighton based aircraft were flown in formation and the end of their flight coincided with the rain arriving.

Held over the weekend of 5/6th June 2010. Exercise Halifax Shadow and RAC D-Day Fly-in was a combination of a 78 Squadron memorial and Breighton Fly-in. Saturday had far better weather than Sunday. These photos are from Sunday. Due to the conditions the BBMF Spitfire was unable to perform a flypast and it was left to an RAF Sea King and Merlin to find their way through the cloud to perform a flypast over nearby Bubwith church and the airfield. Breighton was a WWII base and home to 78 Squadron. The current airfield is on a small part of the WWII base.
