Swiss (and French) Warbirds at Yverdon(CH)

In 2004, the Swiss Air Force had organized “AIR 04” in Payerne AB. The best 2004 European military air show.

This year, the Air-Club of YVERDON-les-BAINS (CH), had organized “Yv’ Air05”, for the celebration of its 70 years. A super air show.

Photographs of Swiss and French warbirds taken (under the clouds) on Saturday July 2nd.

Thanks.

I wondered about the paint scheme, what its significance is. Is it meant to be an RAF scheme? It looks very much like the wartime RNZAF NZ Green/Pacific Blue camouflage scheme.

Hi Dave,

The high wing aircraft is a Fairchild 24W/UC-61K ArgusIII

Very nice indeed. I like the re-enactors, especially the girls on the bike. Great stuff.

What’s that green and blue high-wing aeroplane? (FZ827). Is it a Porterfield?
