A couple of shots from todays Rolls Royce model airshow at Hucknall, Notts.

Nice scale SE5A

Upside down with a nice aerobatic model.

Ducted fan F-15

Hanging on the prop. Great display of power to weight ratio in this Extra replica.

This looks like it could be a Miles Maggie or somthing similar. Nice model all the same.

Jungmeister.

P-38 Lightning.

DH Beaver. This guy flew off the tarmac and dragged the floats. If it had been mine I'd have stuck to the grass, or a small pond I think.

Very nice. My attempts to get some shots of the models at Old Warden last Saturday were a dismal failure.

G-AFSV is registered as a Chilton DW1A. I recently posted a couple of shots of the nice red & silver full-sized DW1 at OW.

Now you come to mention it Hagar pal, the commentator said it was a Chilton. I took loads of pics and these are about the best.

Very nice indeed Roger, no British warbird models? Shocked

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

*puts F-15 on Christmas list*

Awesome shots there. I wish I had money for something like that..

I was at an airshow this year and they had a 1:4 scale F-18 in Blue Angels scheme. With full working afterburner, I remind you. Shocked

Note the difference in the engines and I think you've got the difference between the DW1 and the DW1A...

There was the Swordfish in my other post and a Gladiator about the same size as the Jungmeister that started up, made a popping sound and was taken back to the work area for a bit of head scratching. A nice electric Blenheim MkI also but that did not fly. No Spitfires this year.

By the cowl on that "Extra", I'd say it may be a CAP 232 maybe ......?
Image below the SE-5A I believe, is one of Walter Extra's designs.........a 300 possibly ?
