Had a pleasant whizz down to Eastbourne yesterday, for the first day of the airshow weekend. Weather looks decidedly dodgy for the other three days. Got parked up nice and early on the front, before seeking out somewhere for breakfast. Lovely sunny day if a bit breezy, but not enough to deter the stunt parachutists and wing walkers. However too windy for the Battle of Britain Flight to take off, and the Sea Fury had mechanical issues, so didn't see that either. They were the only two flypasts I was really bothered about. If it wasn't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all.
However the journey home made up for that as once clear of Eastbourne, the A22 was quite clear, allowing me to get a wriggle on, before a hoon across the Ashdown Forest got me home in time for tea.
