Notes:
* Do not confuse with Langham Airfield in Norfolk.

A thoroughly enjoyable afternoon out at Boxted with near perfect weather conditions. Boxted Airfield has just changed ownership and this may have been the last airshow there, though I believe discussions are ongoing with the new landowners so secure the future of this popular airshow on this former WWII airfield.

Highlights of the day included Denny Dobson and his Extra EA300 (G-EIII). Other highlights include the Pilatus P2-05 (G-PTWO), Vickers Supermarine Spitfire LFVB (G-MKVB) and Folland Gnat T.1 (G-RORI).

Maurice Hammond had three of his collection of aircraft there, Auster V (G-AMVD), Boeing Stearman PT-13D Kaydet (N4712V) and North American AT-6D Harvard III (G-ELMH) were all present and looked splendid.

WWII veteran Captain Clayton Kelly Gross was at Boxted signing books and prints and telling stories. He was based at Boxted with the 354th Fighter Group flying the North American P-51 Mustang. Captain Clayton Kelly Gross's personal aircraft was called "Live Bait", coded GQ-I and the registration 43-12451.
