Welcome to part nine of our series on family-friendly days out. For this we headed to Car Fest at Oulton Park. Now before I say anything else, I have to acknowledge that the day was overshadowed by a tragic accident during one of the air shows. Pilot Kevin Whyman was killed flying a Folland Gnat aircraft […]
