The Hispanio 109 and the spit - my two faves of the day - Rare!

My grandad used to jump out of these!

The Bearcats extended diplay while the rest formed up

Lovely DC3

 

Thanks for looking - i had a really good day - but the p-38 lightning was sorely missed - as was the Thunderbolt! It just wasnt the same , no whirlind this year and no a-26 - only one B-17.......

 

But hey! there was lost of good stuff as well - id never seen a 109 fly before and never seen a 190, so i cant complain! and i wont - i hope you enjoy the pics - they had to be downsized a great deal so i hope they still look ok!

Hi Ads,

 

Nice pictures. I was there on the Saturday...It looks like you got a couple of extra aircraft displaying there which were not on Saturday's flight programme . I really should thank my wife for being patient also...It's a pity that your wife declined to have her picture shown...all modeller's wives/widows deserve recognition for putting up with our obsessions! .

 

Cheers

Our wives do put up with a lot... I am grateful mine was quite keen to go our last air show

 

Thanks again
