Classic Fighters Omaka 2009

Hi all

Just a small selection of shots from this weekend's show at Omaka Aerodrome, Blenheim, NZ. Some real treats such as the debut of Brendon Deere's Mk.IXc Spitfire, and two original WW1 biplanes: the Be2f and the Avro 504K. Another star attraction was the former gate guard Bristol Freighter, which taxied around the field under its own power for the first time in two decades. An incredible sound! The full-scale Junkers Ju87 replica was back in one piece, and hopefully will be fitted with a Jaguar V12 for the next show in 2011.

When might we see a flying Mosquito? Will the Mosquito make it to Europe for August?

I doubt it, as KA114 is most likely headed straight for the US as soon as its finished. Still a way to go, optimistically hoping to see her debut at Wanaka next Easter.
