First display of the season at Old Warden. The weather was better than expected despite the best efforts of the forecasters. A strong gusty wind made flying difficult at times.

Continuing with the WWI theme, here's the Shuttleworth contingent. These should be familiar by now.

I've not posted shots of this one in the air before.

My favourite SE5a is missing - undergoing a major overhaul.

The kites are out for another season... very good.

The M1 is very well-photographed- a real treat. I had to look that one up, but I was sure I'd seen pics before. Grin

Sean is right, it's a Bristol M.1C Monoplane. http://www.rcaf.com/aircraft/fighters/m1c/index.php?name=M.1C This is an accurate replica built by the Northern Aeroplane Workshops like the collection's Sopwith Tripe.* I saw it fly several times last season but these are the first photos I've taken of it worth posting.

*They have been working on a Sopwith Camel replica for several years now. I haven't heard any news on its progress..

Turned out very nice again Doug. Nice to see the M1c in its full streamlined beauty.
