G-AARO – Arrow Sport A2-60

Was that really a British registered biplane in the background of the Ju 52? G-AARO what is it?

bit of Googling and found the answer – go to this in case anyone interested
http://www.nasm.si.edu/research/aero/aircraft/arrowsport.htm

It is an Arrow Sport A2-60 built in 1926. In 1979 Philip Mann imported it into the UK and registered it G-AARO. This was originally intended for a Klemm but not taken up. It was sold at Christies on 14th May 1983 and returned to the USA.

Anyone got any photos of it whilst in the uK?

Nice collection of pics of a nice collection of aeroplanes – it’s high on my list of places to visit.

Any photos of the pioneer/WW1 types we just got a glimpse of?

Yes, listen to ollie – he knows all about camera shake. He’s a master at it.

Excellent set of pics, thanks very much.

Hello

A weighty first post on the Flypast board! 🙂 Welcome Boeinglover 2400.

I particularly liked the Crusader and FW190A, the latter looks particularly purposeful with it’s bomb.

Welcome aboard.
Some very good photos there. A few with camera shake. It looks like they have a seriosly impressive collection there.

Wouldn’t you shake in the presence of all that fantastic machinery? 😀 , Nice pics, shame about the lighting which makes it difficult for even ‘top end’ cameras to get a good shot.

Regards

John.

Nice pics… is that F-35 a mockup or have they already retired the first prototype?
