A small selection from Charlie & Hagar's grand day out at Old Warden.

A very nice 7/8th scale replica of the Fieseler Storch. Not seen this before.

The resident Jungmann.

Surprise. Look what dropped in for a very nice display. Cheesy

At last I got a couple of half-decent shots of the RNHF Sea Fury.

Thanks chaps. It was a tad cloudy & chilly round the old lug'oles when the sun went in. More like blinkin' October than August. Shocked

Number 5 is billed as a Me 108 Taifun, nearest thing we have to a Me 109 these days. It's actually the Nord 1002, the French-built post-WWII version. http://www.airbum.com/pireps/PirepME-108.html
No 6 is a Douglas Skyraider.

Shame. Ah well, I'm sure you'll make up for it one day. Wink

PS. I might post some more tomorrow.

Those speak for themselves pretty well! Grin

What can I say... hmmm... I am very impressed with your good use of such poor light, and your success with using more angles than usual!! Grin

And what a great show I missed...a real nice bunch of airplanes. And a Sabre, of all things!

Probably my favorite jet fighter ever.
Feel free to divulge any technical information you might want to share with us lowly ones, Master... Wink

Bravo!!
