Last weekend was quite busy with La Machine and then the Southport Airshow. Fortunately the weather held on the Sunday so most of the planes were able to display, only a few did not make it.

One of the more unusual displays was the Swift Display Team, which consisted of a Piper Pawnee as a glider towing aircraft, A Silence Twister, built from a kit, and a Swift glider built in Poland. They are seen here flying along the display line whilst the pilot of the glider, Guy Westgate, was attempting a world record for the number of rolls whilst being towed along the length of the display line. He achieved 12 which was a new record. It was quite an interesting display and they were they only team to use the beach to land on.
