Debach Airfield Open Day, Suffolk - 7th June 2009

It's the day after the annual 1940s Dance at Debach airfield, so it's the open day. The weather is none-too-kind at first, as it lashes it down for a bit - unfrotunately we'd not bothered to pack up the tents first thing (whilst it was still dry). Later on though, things improve, but we have to head off with a bunch of soggy tents.
