All being well I'm off to the vintage fly-in at Abingdon this weekend. Hopefully I'll get some good shots of more rare aircraft. I've been going through the photos I took at Old Warden. Here's a few I haven't posted before. Hope you like 'em. Wink

The Avro Triplane replica. This really flies well. Looks more like a model.
...

Now a couple of my better static shots. No editing except cropping/resizing.
The rare Parnall Elf. I don't know much about this one.
...

Another classic. DH.60 Cirrus Moth owned by BAe Systems.
...

The sole surviving Southern Marlet. F.G Miles' first successful design & once his personal aircraft this one has quite a history. It was in storage at various places for many years before being beautifully restored at Old Warden. It flew for the first time in 50 years in September 2000. Awarded the Vintage Aeroplane Club's 'Vintage Aeroplane of the Year' Trophy for 2001.
...

The other end of the scale. One of Sidney Camm's classic biplanes. The Hawker Hind.
