Every single one of those is gold!

What time/day were the WW1 group shots taken at by the way?

Superb, Mr Conroy, superb! What amazing images! They really turned on the weather for us on Sunday, and it shows in your shots. Wonderful! The one of "Ze Germans" is one of my favourites I think, along with the sepia-tone(?) Camel and Currawong doing her thing.

Phwoar, my friend!!!!!

Thanks, the early morning shots were taken during the friday morning practice, they appear how they came out of the box and havent been coloured, just got to be there at the right time but it makes a long day of it.

I will post some photos from the C130 ramp shoot when I can, they are quite a sight due to the angle I was given thank thanks to the RNZAF for inviting me along.
We shot 18 aircraft in one shoot including Checkers, Airbandits, 7 WW2 fighters in singles, twos and threes as well as L39 DC3 and Furio.

Finally... a shot of the P-40 with the guns blazing! I guess that settles the argument of what they would be doing with the empty casings! Did they let people go out and collect them???

Fantastic shots Gavin, the second to last shot, of the Camel, is probably my favourite of that bunch although they're all pretty amazing!

damn...never thought of that. They were over the other side of the runway where the pyro guys were so im guessing they may have cleared them up.

Fantastic shots! :pics:

I personally like the ones of the F11, especially with the flame!

Cheers
