Well, what a weekend! A couple of no-shows which was disappointing but not terrible, as what was there more than made up for the absences. Highlights for me were the Be2 and the Spit - of course!

Typical, I forgot the USB cable for my dad's camera, so after each day's flying I had to cull about 100 lower quality shots. Quite glad with what I've ended up with . Out of 600+ over the weekend, here's my pick of the crop.



















Of course, no airshow can truly be complete without one of these in attendance:

Superb photos Zac , the RE8 , the 87 - a real size replica , SWEET !

Its a Be2 ... big mistake for a RE8

might as well add a few shots here, hope you dont mind Zac.

Many thanks for photos!

Gavin The 40 , 51 , that Spitfire really is brand new ... Zac - again .. love to see the Bou flex his wings to the old Bristol

I might as well post mine from the first day,
I really enjoyed the Twilight Extreme, even if it was Freezing. All of these were taken using a cruddy little point 'n' shoot
1# Here is me (on the Far left) and my mates (Huw and Will) having a look at the Corsair on the first day.


2# Huw looking at a Fokker(?)


3# PV270 and her (or is it a he since its name is Al?)engineer, Pete Burgess


4#Al looking Pretty


5# Nieuport 11 Bebe's monkey thing


6# Nieuport 11 again


7#Squadron Leader Nick Cree's CT4 Airtrainer


I also have some videos of the Red Checkers Display if you want me to post them
A great day defiantly going again next time

Great photos Zac and Gavin

Cheers
Nick

Edit: Fixed some pictures

The dude with the Spitfire is engineer Pete Burgess

No problem, glad to share

Equally great pics Nick , if the prop on that Corsair is 13 feet 2 inch's , that makes for a very large aircraft carrier hanger

With the new details pointed out here , maybe we can get an updated paint for the Realair Spit

Cheers guys

Gee, ZK-CPT (the Bristol Freighter) is looking in superb shape!

Nice shots.

I know its really great that Al Marshall and his team got her running again

Awesome photos everyone, might have to make an effort to attend myself next time.

Fully Recommend it!!

OK - so I take it EML is in for maint presently. Tell me - whats with the fin extension on EGK ? I should have caught up with you at the show and arranged to get some pics of EGK. Pretty tidy machine, but then WAW have always been known for that. Easily one of my favourite all time aircraft - 400HP Fletcher !!

Although if you work for the company that owns the plane, its not so scary really !!
