This is arguably one of the best Warbird airshows in Victoria and is held bi-annually at the beautiful Tyabb airfield, located on the Mornington Peninsula. Although it had rained in the week leading up to the event, on the actual day the weather was near perfect with just some overcast and a light breeze all day.
Both the general public and enthusiasts turned out in huge numbers and as the day progressed this made getting something to eat or drink a real challenge, as there were long queues at all of the catering outlets well into mid-afternoon, with many having already sold out well before then.
Despite some aircraft from further afield not making it due to the weather the lineup of Warbirds on display and included in the flying program was nothing short of spectacular. For me the real standouts were the Sopwith Snipe replica, F4U-5N Corsair and Grumman Avenger, which were all displayed to absolute perfection.
