Well my pics are not quite up to the level of the others, but here goes. What a lovely show it was. A most pleasant way to spend a Sunday.

Mike J,
We can express our opinions, so who’s your favourite commentator then? Mine has got to be John Blake

Mike J,
We can express our opinions, so who’s your favourite commentator then? Mine has got to be John Blake, my least favourite being Sean Maffett (Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz) Or even better than that, no commentary at all and let the engines speak!
Payload, can I join you in poking him with a large blunt instrument? 😮

Mike J,
‘Twas nice to see a commentator with some ‘life’ in him!
IMHO, Brendan was the icing on the cake at Chailey. Strange character he may be, but he sure as hell can out commentate some of the old farts you hear at Duxford and Old Warden, most of whom need prodding with a sharp stick every now and then..
Don’t let Discovery Wings influenence you, if you dont know the man personally, Brendan certainly knows how to fly an aeroplane..
U & Who’s 😀

Very helpful!
Well does anyone know if it was?
By: Arabella-Cox - 15th August 2004 at 22:28
Who was the commentator? He so sounded like Brendan O’Brien of Discovery Wings fame.
I wonder why that might be……. 😉

Name that voice?
Where has that week gone! Congratulations and many thanks to all involved in Chailey 2004. A beautiful day out. But ever since last Sunday, I have had one nagging question! Who was the commentator? He so sounded like Brendan O’Brien of Discovery Wings fame. Can anyone make me any the wiser?

I think we’re about the same height!

Great photos! I like the one with Carolyn and ML407, gives you a nice idea of size and scale!

Absolutely love that composite of the flight line.
I’m surprised at the size of some of the crews that get out of a Jabiru…
Looks like it was a great event. May have to add it into my diary for next year.

Yes it did look a bit dinky taxying out with the heavy stuff at the end.
Anyway here is one of the Harvard Display team being prep’ed.

What’s a Jabiru????
A flyable airfix kit…. fit the insides and stick the two halves together!!! 😀 😮

It’s one of those funny Aussie things, like a kangaroo, only smaller 😉

Where :confused: You mean the white Jabiru on the right…. :confused: 😀
Nice pics Shorty!

Yes Mike, I notice that you don’t wave to people in spam cans either when you are recorgnised by their occupants!!!
By: Yak 11 Fan - 11th August 2004 at 14:26
Nice 172 in the line up, even trying to do a taildragger impersonation due to a slight slope in the land!!!
By: Jumpin'Jacques - 11th August 2004 at 14:14
I like the Flight Line re-composed shot very much 🙂
Very nice pics Shorty01,
Thanks for sharing.
Jacques.

Very nice photos. Love the montage and ate those the Hairyplane knees appearing under the PT-22? I think they are 🙂
