It's been a busy weekend for me. I took these at the International Microlight event at Popham on Saturday. A beautiful WWI pairing of the Fokker Dr.1 & Nieuport 17 leaving for an unknown destination before it got too crowded. Both are full-scale replicas based on the airfield but this is the first time I've seen the Dr.1. I know that the Nieuport was used in the film 'Flyboys'. It's quite possible they both were.

I have loads more photos from this event. Also a few from the first display of the season at Old Warden yesterday. I'll post a selection later.

I believe the Dr1 at least is appearing at Biggin this year doing a WWI re-enactment.

Nice pics!

Would have been nice to see these two in the air together Doug, we're expecting you to camp out on the airfield to capture that now Wink

Looking forward to the OW shots, how did the weather hold out in the end?
