Last for now. A selection of the variety of types on display.

The specks on some pics are small flying bugs. Not noticed them at OW before but they were a blasted nuisance.

What's G-AFWT (what kind of plane?)

Nice!  Now I don't feel so guilty for making five post of the fly-in in one day!

Thanks for sharing!

G-AFWT is a Tipsy Trainer. No, it's not drunk but was designed by a Belgian aircraft designer & constructor named Ernest Oscar Tips.

Don't feel guilty. I enjoyed your shots. I was scared of taking over the forum myself. Roll Eyes Wink

Don't apologise Doug, enjoyed every one of them.   Was going to ask the question on the Tipsy Trainer myself, bet there's not a whole lot of them spread around the world.

Thanks Bazza. Nice to see you back. Wink

There's a few Tipsy aircraft still flying in various parts of the world. I've seen examples of the Nipper & very rare Belfair at recent fly-ins. I found this interesting site with information on the marque. http://www.tipsy-histories.com/site/news.htm

As you said, that's a fascinating site...thanks for the pointer.   Being on the other side of world I am staggered by the stuff that's available for people to go and view as shown by your photo's.

There are air-shows where I am as well but there would be few surprises, a re-viewing of the tried and true.

Me-thinks a re-assessment of Mr and Mrs Bazza's funds is needed, I suspect that I could have a great holiday in "The Old Country" (a phrase from my fathers era.) just following the airshows....

If Mrs Bazza went along with it you could have a pretty good holiday during our summer. Here's a list of the major events all over the UK for the 2005 season. http://aeroflt.users.netlink.co.uk/shows/showdate.htm
There's usually at least one event to choose from every weekend during the season. You could also see a lot of the country by travelling to the various venues during the week. If you ever decide to do it please let me know & I'll do all I can to help.

You could indeed. You never know, one of us might happen to be at some of the shows too...

Possibly - was intending to go Saturday, but undecided at the mo... Partly as there's a show in Southampton on Sunday I think...

I aim to be there. Not sure which is the best day to go. Maybe we could meet up if you wish. That's providing they let me in. I never got over that Spitfire anniversary cockup.
