One either lives at Shoreham or is a regular visitor. I don't know if it's the same one or even the same type. There's quite a few of these motor gliders around. I'm not certain what this one is. ???
The ones I know are the Fournier RF series. There's 36 of these currently listed on the CAA register.

Thanks for your comments Craig. Glad someone likes my shots anyway. Wink

I took over 300 during the weekend & it's surprising how long it takes to go through them & sort out the best ones. I work on the principle that if I take enough shots a few might come out OK. LOL Grin

Great work Doug, thanks for taking us to the show with you ........ Shocked

This last A/C in question is a Europa Classic. We had one pass through here last Oct and I didn't know the type at the time, so I had to look it up.....

Thanks Ken. Europa. I remember now. It's the same type as the one at Shoreham. I usually try to get the reg in the shot so I can look it up later if necessary. If I had my way it would be compulsory for them to have the name of the aircarft painted on the engine cowling. Wink

PS. Some of these aircraft are so tiny I had to kneel down to get a decent shot.

Don't forget there are two types of Europa Classic, tricycle U/C and the funny fold up number that I wouldn't trust!
Those Pitts and Vans are gorgeous. Thanks for sharing the happy snaps Doug, they've put a big Grin

on my face Wink

Mark

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

Glad you like 'em Mark. They're all so pretty but #3 is my favourite. Anyone know what it is? No cheating now. Wink

PS. Must admit I had to cheat & look it up. The name wasn't written anywhere on it. Roll Eyes

Right in one Ant. It's registered as a Tri Kis. I suppose the reg letters give it away. Strange names they give some of these pretty little aircraft these days. Roll Eyes

Glad you like my pics. I might post some more later. If I'm boring you just blame Ozzy. Wink

PS. I found out it's a kit from Pulsar Aircraft. Wouldn't mind one of these beauties myself. http://www.pulsaraircraft.com/
