  In September there was an Air Show over Guernsey which was part of "The Battle of Britain week" in England, which is performed in memory of and gives honor to the fighter pilots who flew planes during the war.  The weather was perfect for it.
       It was an amazing display, with many kinds of planes, old and new, flying over St. Peter Port;
we saw wing-walkers, wild aerobatic loop-d'-loops, and quiet motor gliders ... and the ending was the Red Arrows - a team of 9 fast jet planes flying synchronized patterns - which was amazing.

                                                    The Red Arrows:

                                         
                                  On one pass, the vapor trails were red, white, and blue,
                                             and some of the planes were upside down....

During the show, the ferry came into port; it holds hundreds of people, cars

                     and freight vans.  We call this the "fast ferry" as it takes about 3 hours to travel
                                                             to Poole from Guernsey.  

      

                          From out on the pier where we watched the show, this was a nice look
                                        .. over the car park .. toward the seafront buildings:

    The third week of September we flew to London and met Spencer, Keeley and McKenzie !
                 Such a happy time !   So fun spending a few days with them seeing sites.

                       We loved seeing McKenzie smile:

                                               and chase the pigeons ...
