Stunning day at Ardmore

Another gem of a winter's day greeted aviators keen to blow out the cobwebs not blown away by the storm/s that have swept the country.
Yesterday I blogged about the contrast in traffic types at Ardmore with the circuit mixed from home builts to a bizjet. Today it was rattling to the sound of its resident Strikemaster while in the grass circuit was a Piper Cub, talk about one extreme to the other!
