OK chaps, last lot. I know you've seen enough of this by now but I just had to share a few more pics of my favourite airshow. Wink

Avro Anson C-21

Gloster Gladiator MkI

Grumman F7F-3P Tigercat.

Bu 133C Jungmeister.

Hawker Sea Fury FB.11

Polikarpov I-15 bis

North Americam P-51C-10 Mustang

Two P-51Ds and a Yak-3

Douglas C-47A Dakota.

Avro Lancaster B.MkI and Hawker Hurricane MkIIc

Well that's it for another year. For me at least, every other show is a slight anti-climax. If I only did one show each year, it would be Legends.
Thanks for putting up with my self indulgence and for chocking up the photos forum with pictures of old aeroplanes. Wink

Great stuff. I suspected you had a few more up your sleeve. Wink

I took 367 snaps, mostly on the flight line but it just takes ages to look through them. I could just keep on posting but folks would just get fed up with me Wink

I'm glad you all like my pics and I think Hagar's shots are amazing.

You're too modest. I suspect if you cropped those shots carefully & resized them at a higher resolution (800 pixels instead of 600) they would be better than mine. If you like to mail me the original of the Gladiator or Tigercat I'll show you what I mean.

PS. I don't consider this editing or cheating, simply post-processing. Photographers have been doing it since photography was first invented.

i think that your Yak-3 in reality is a Yak-11... same airfame past the engine mounting but with a 1000 hp radial

Russian planes: IL-76 (all standard length ones), Tu-154 and Il-62, Tu-134 and An-24RV&&&&AI flightplans and repaints can be found here

Fantastic photos Roger, thanks for sharing Wink

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