The weather did not look good for the Abingdon Air and Country Show at Dalton Barracks.
But by the time the flying started, soon after 1pm, the rain had cleared and there was some blue sky.
Not all the flights had been able to get there because of the conditions, but there was still lots to enjoy in the early afternoon.
After the first flights, there was a shower, and people settled back again to watch the planes and a parachute display team.
As well as the airshow there were many interesting exhibits of the type you see at a Country Fair.
Members of the local Nepalese community were collecting for their home country – devastated by an earthquake.
At around 3pm the rain set in again. Some people headed for the exit – causing queues…
Other headed under canvas.
In one of the marquees Fiona Harrison entertained people in the wartime spirit with some old Cockney Favorites.
That was followed by the Abingdon Traditional Morris Dancers and Vale Islanders.

As ever we had a great time; such a shame about the heavy rain in the afternoon but well done to the organisers for delivering almost all the programme despite the adverse conditions!
We had a good 5 or 6 hours there. Some really good flying displays, and the sun shone, (Queueing in traffic when the Typhoon/Spitfire flew past. ) Everyone made a dash for it when the heavens opened.
