Photo Comment

For those that were there to witness it, the sight of the 1923 English Electric Wren G-EBNV not only taking off under its own power (a 3hp ABC 398 engine) but also flying to a decent height was truly amazing. The silence of the crowd was only interrupted by the noise of camera shutters and the occasional hint that the tiny engine was propelling it along. A truly stunning moment - to much applause as it landed.
