An otherwise uninspiring drive-by of Ardmore on Saturday afternoon almost saw me bail out and head for the hills when I heard the murmur of a Stearman approaching and then, within 20 minutes, a myriad of locally based taildraggers appear in the circuit well and truly out numbering the tricycle brigade!
