OB Wildcat Photo Comp – postponed
Due to a technical problem outside of our control, one of the Wildcats will not be airworthy this Sat – so we are postponing the photo competition, hopefully not for too long.
We will keep you guys informed of the rescheduled dates!
Apologies,
Al

Nice photos.
I’ve flown in formation with WD286 and ironically on the same day as doing that I also saw G-APYG. 🙂

Wildcat Photo Comp

We are hoping that the weather Gods will shine on Old Buck next Sat (Aug 20th) as we are practicing in the overhead and would like to draw your attention to the fact that our first photographic competition winner will be chosen on Aug 25th.
So bring your Box-Brownies down to OB next Sat and be in with a chance of winning a trip in one of the Wildcats!
I understand that there is also a “live-fire” exercise that day, too; more details either via the website or on our Facebook pages.

Thanks Keith
Great pics.
Our website is now live and you can upload pics of Wildcat Formation straight to it and leave comment/feedback. We have some amazing new video on there, too. Willie’s Pitts is booked in for a repaint early next month, so we will have two identically looking Pitts’ later this year.

OB Pitts’ – Wildcat Formation
Hi – my name is Al,
Willie my formation partner and I are Wildcat Formation, the Pitts pair you see from 13:28 in Orion’s awesome video.
We are working up with a view of emerging on the UK Airshow scene next year, 2012 in a pair of similarly liveried Pitts S2’sl
So the point of this post is really a request: if you have any good images or video of us, we’d like to be able to access it from our website (in development currently) – so we have a one-stop-shop for good images of us doing what we love and hopefully what you guys love to capture.
We have discussed running a competition on the website that would allow talented photograhers to post pics and the winners would become eligible for a front seat trip in one of our bipes!
Orion David – we’d love you to re-edit yr vid and perhaps allow us to post it on our YouTube Channel
http://www.youtube.com/wildcataerobatics
Obviously you will all be credited for any work submitted and we propose in the next few weeks to hold a couple of sessions to take photographers for a quick trip and see how well they capture air2air shots! Then we’ll sort out a camera ship
Resident OB shutter-bugs: Keith N and David M know us, so have a chat with them if you have any worries that you don’t feel ready to share with Willie or myself.
Thanks chaps.

I have uploaded my film of this event to YouTube. Most of the aeroplanes that visited from mid-day to 4pm are featured particularly the Chipmunks and the Pitts.

Nice shots.

For those of us based there ‘minor’ does not adequately sum up the situation.

Newforest. I think the chippies all used the tarmac runway ? just the grass wasn’t as short as usual ??
Moggy. Yes I have been hearing rumours of minor problems at OB …. lets hope for the best outcome ?? 🙂

Not as many vintage types as some would have expected !
Possibly the uncertain situation over avgas availability at the field has some bearing on this.

Looks as though the Chippies prefer the rough to the smooth or is that the perspective?
