) here's some shots I posted at Wings Over NZ.
Hi all!
Quick and to the point, a selection of the better shots to be had from my piddling little camera
. If you'd like some better shots from me in the future, feel free to contribute today! All donations welcome. :
Brisfit at rest in the magnificent Old Stick and Rudder Co hangar
Blue Max film star Fokker D.VII being rolled out onto the field
A very nice surprise to inspect at close quarters: the TVAL-built Re.8 reproduction
OSRC's Corsair, sadly kept in the hangar on the day. Always gets me how big this thing is
Rotary pair Camel and Nieuport XI
One of the three Fokker Triplanes present, preparing to taxi to the flightline
John Lanham prepares to taxi P-40E ZK-RMH to the display line
Poor shot of the Fokker D.VII replica's cockpit. Thanks to Jerry for the brilliant idea of posing his flying gear!
Brisfit coming out. Lovely!
On to the display line!
Gene de Marco's lovely Stampe. This was the first time I'd seen one in the flesh, and it was great to be able to compare it with a Tiger
The aforementioned Tiger Moth, flown by Tim Sullivan and later Greg MacDonald
The WW1 lineup, with the Tiger Moth-based "Bianchi Pfalz" D.III from [i]The Blue Max[i] in the foreground
Taildragger Training's Piper Pacer, for those of you who want something a tad more modern! Took part in balloon bursting along with the Stampe and Tiger.....great exhibition of pilot skills!
Even Hood has a "commentary bus".....
Very nice cannon at the end of the flightline
Camel and Brisfit.....for the first time I remember, the Allies outnumbered the Hun! 7 aircraft with roundels (including one "Fortunello") to 6 with crosses
The German lineup, with the Bebe trying to sneak in from the right
Jerry Chisum, in full Luftstreitkrafte regalia, watches the display after his first outing in the D.VII. I seriously want to take over display duties of this aeroplane! After refurbishment it looks great, and looks amazing to fly. I asked Jerry if it was as fun to fly as it looked. He thought it over...."um.....yes! Those great thick wings let you do anything"
Even though I have a WHOLE THREAD dedicated to the Se.5a-1s, here's one of them prior to their display. Gorgeous!
I took some shots of a couple of the displays, mainly the superb "furball" between Dr.Is and Se5s, but I'm far too embarrassed to post them! Just wait til Alex posts his!
