They certainly got the bunting hung up in July 1938, for the opening of Luton Airport! This rather gorgeous wooden de Havilland Albatross airliner prototype (G-AEVV) was flown across from Hatfield to Luton for to take part in the opening ceremony of the new airport.

XT597 went on `walkabout` on Saturday 5th July when BPAG were invited to display the aircraft at a private event at Cotswold Airport. We can`t confirm for sure, but this may well have been the longest tow activity 597 has undertaken since retiring from RAF service.

Due to operational reasons Team Niebergall will be unable to display this weekend. Replacing them will be the fabulous Vampire Jet, flown by Mark Hooton who will be conducting a full display on Sat & Sun, whilst Lauren Wilson will display her wonderful Pitts Special on Friday.
