Taken at the Shuttleworth Military Pageant on 5th August. I don't remember posting any from this show. The weather's been terrible this summer but it hasn't all been doom & gloom.

First a couple of visitors. A close look at the T-28S Fennec from ARCo at Duxford. This is one of only two in the UK.



The usual spirited display by Peter Teichman in his Mk XI. PT always gives value for money & looks like he's thoroughly enjoying himself.



Simon O'Connell's 'Me 108 Taifun' looking very smart in its new colours. Until recently it was in a desert scheme.
It's actually a French-built Nord 1002 Pingouin II (G-ETME) with a modern Lycoming engine.



Always one of my favourites. The Collection's Sea Hurricane displayed by Sir John Allison.



I'm off to Old Warden again On Sunday. Here's hoping the weather cooperates.

Awesome shots!!

Thanks chaps.

I have a photo almost identical to the first one....at Hullavington

Nice shots Doug

They were used for low-level reconnaissance. The actual shade of pink is open to debate but it was apparently very effective camo against an overcast sky.* Contrary to popular opinon they had rotten weather during WWII too.

*PS. That was until those darned invasion stripes ruined the whole effect.
