Stunning B-25. First time I've seen this aircraft at Legends.

Where is the B25 out of Roger? Beautiful photos BTW Wink

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

Nice one Roger. You got to see the Nimrod fly. I'm very jealous. Cry

You dare say "Piston Perfection" is a Sea Fury, right after you post a Gladiator and Nimrod? BLASPHEMY!

That second B-25 flew here, too sometimes, great look. I´d like to see a Lancaster or a B-17 in Flight..... Shocked

Sad I missed all this. Nice shots!

One remark. Isn't Big Beautiful Doll owned by Robert Davies and not by the Fighter Collection? Ferocious Frankie is, but not the Doll. Wink

Raw power...the J-58.&&&&&&My Anet collection.&&

Lovely shots.

I was at the end of the runway and those 2 B-25's sat at full power waiting to go right next to us and boy do they make a racket compared to the others.

I wouldn't have it any other way.

What a great show it was this year.

As Hagar said, it's TFC "Twilight Tear" flying with the P-51c. Same unit markings but you can tell by the colour of the wingtips, red on Tear and checks on the Doll.

Thanks for all the comments chaps Grin
