Another new one. Peter Holloway's smart Bücker Bestmann paired with the collection's Jungmann. I was hoping to see the Fw 44. Maybe next time.

Nice to see the Lysander back in the air, minus its wheel covers as it was probably used in service.

Another old favourite. I love the sound of that Kestrel.

The Gladiator resplendent in its brand new 73 Squadron markings. A beautiful sight.

God, I wish we had more aircraft like these around here!! I know in some small airports they are hidding away in rickety old hangers!!

Awesome shots, Doug!!

The other thing about the wheel covers being off the Lizzie is that you can see both ends of the undercarriage beam!

Nice to see the Lysander flying again Cool

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