When I took the picture a passer-by said “I can’t see them ever getting it finished, now, at this rate!!!”

These new signs have recently appeared all around Abingdon.

It is not a Total Ban on drinking alcohol in public places. It makes it an offence to carry on drinking alcohol – antisocially – when asked to stop.

A new shop is opening soon where Dawsons used to be. Looks like it is all 9TP.

Planes were coming over Abingdon early in the morning. This giant came over fairly low, banked steeply with lights blazing, and came back even lower – seen here from the Albert Park.

The other sign the airshow was happening were the traffic queues at midday stretching back from Dalton Barracks. I decided to beat the queues and cycled.

Here is the lumbering giant after it got to the show. People were queueing to look round inside.

The Mayor, Patrick Lonergan, was there (with sore feet after his sponsored walk), and so was the Chair of the Vale of White Horse District Council, Alison Rooke.

There were good crowds watching the fly overs. A lot of money must have been raised for the Air Ambulance fund.

While there I enjoyed photographing many other things, and here are some of the better pictures – a WWII style singer…

there were veteran vehicles of all kinds…

demonstrations and exhibitions of traditional arts like this one by the Home Front Friends…

and Radio Controlled Daleks.
