SABC Open Day Sunday 29th September 2013

The Sports Aircraft Builders Club (SABC) again this year on the last Sunday in September hosted their annual Open Day, over 100 aircraft logged on the day were either on display, some others in various stages of construction, others undergoing re-building and being repaired from mishaps.

Serpentine never fails to disappoint & this year was no exception with no less than 10 new aircraft recorded for the first time, sadly the weather didn't play its part and although cloudy with patchy rain  it still was an enjoyable day out.

Here is a small representation of what we saw this visit:
