Spring sunshine, Winter wind at Old Warden

Morning all,

Kicked off the new season yesterday at a blustery Old Warden, a very enjoyable start to the year despite the wind’s best intentions and good to be out and about with the camera once more. Very pleased to see the PO2 on it’s début, another vintage Russian aircraft with a great sound. The AN-2 put on a particularly impressive show too, one of only a handful of aircraft that enjoy that sort of wind I suspect!

Here’s a selection from the show, more can be found on my Flickr

Eye candy 🙂 The Hurri, the Lysander as well as the Sabre look at their best.
Thank you.

Really nice photos, thanks for them. I thought the Sabre had been sold in the USA?
