It was a first class show, I have attended many airshows around the world including the famous Oshkosh airshow in the USA.
I would say the airshow at Albion Park on the Sunday when I attended was equal in display as and organisation as what I experienced at Oshkosh in 2019. You should be very proud of your organisation. I donated to your HARS organisation for the Catalina which you restored. My late father , Malcolm Smith was a Catalina pilot WW11, his PBY2B2 rests on Lord Howe Island where he crashed 1n 1948 at 17.70 local time due to a massive fuel leak when he suffered multiple engine failures and attempted a landing in the lagoon at night.

I flew in the aircraft in 1988 and look forward to seeing it fly again after 20 years grounded.
