Seen at the airshow today

Shuttleworth Fly Navy Airshow, one of the best Ive been too. There was a great line up, all with a naval flavour. I took far too many photos, I need to learn some trigger discipline it seems. But these are the ones that came out ok.

Nice!


The extra snaps just means more opportunities to get that perfect image & a bit more sorting to weed a few also-rans out.

Glad the Swordfish is still showing the flag in its fly past 

What are the two "stick and string" types ? I could make a guess but that is all it would be.

[Caveman]

Biplane is bristol boxkite and the other is an avro triplane. Both replicas built for tmmatfm

[NARSES2]

Thank you 

I'm quite proud of myself, would have got both of them, but just wasn't sure, especially the tri-plane. Thought it could have been from Those magnificent Men.

[Caveman]

The triplane still has Sir Percy's and Courtney's names on the fuselage.

Thanks for sharing your pics - haven't made it this year but always enjoy the Shuttleworth shows.

A few of the aircraft at the FlyWheel event at RAF Bicester over last weekend.

Loads more pics to come, mostly cars, but some armour too.



A folded Gypsy Moth. It took a stupidly short time to 'un-fold' it, maybe 2 minutes!




A Leopard Moth, my fave for sure. What a wonderful looking 'period' aircraft.




A P-51D, but you probably knew that...




A replica SE5A, but superbly done, as were all the replicas there.




A replica BE2C for crying out loud! I never knew an aircraft fly so slow and still stay airborne!




A DC3, but you may have known that too....




A beautiful Dragonfly. It was close run thing between this and the Leopard Moth.




A replica Fokker Dr1.

You were lucky to see the "Edwardians" fly - I've been to Shuttleworth several times in recent years and it's always been to breezy for them to fly, Here's hoping the weather is settled for the Flying Proms on 18th August

[PR19_Kit]

I only saw the BE2C and the Dr1 fly, but the others did later in the day apparently. It wasn't very breezy at all, which made a change from recent days.

[Old Wombat]

Nice pic's, Kit.

[NARSES2]

Nice pics Kit 

I've never seen a Gypsy Moth with its wings folded before, to be honest I sort of thought they could be, but wasn't sure

Looks like you had a really good day there Kit    (we need a green envy smiley)

I sure did, but it was SO hot I had to give up just past lunchtime. And I took over 100 pics of the cars too, but I promise not to post all of them.
