Thanks, glad you liked the photos. As to the wingwalkers, the BBC conducted an interview with the team recently: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/...-farnborough-airshow

Air shows were a regular part of my growing up years and I have a special place in my heart for biplanes. My father loved flying them so much he built himself one. He lives in memory, his plane flies on, now in Southern California. He made 1 trip to the UK in his lifetime, to see airplanes, of course. Thanks, Professor.

Thank you very much for your kind comments. I find bi-planes fascinating, too - but I certainly could not BUILD one! Here is another close-up shot of the two planes, this time without the smoke:

Professor Abe visits a beautiful garden in Wales, timing his visit to the blooming season of the extensive assortment of rhododendrons in the garden.

Mid-May Update: Obviously, not all the rhododendrons here flower at exactly the same time. A repeat visit, therefore, will reveal new colours and vistas. We went back a fortnight after the first visit (exactly, as it happened) and below are a few photos from that second tour of the Gardens.
