Sun Sep 25, 2005 6:04 am

A selection from the Shuttleworth evening display this Saturday. The weather did conspire to “turn the lights of” just as the main display started.

Beginning with a tribute to all the Pushers and Pullers ho make things happen. Everyone, Engineers and Pilots included, mucks in. It’s a real team effort.
