What a supurb day ! Quick trip around North Norfolk this afternoon, nothing much at Norwich Airport or Little Snoring, but some very friendly people and activity at both Northrepps and Shipdham.
Keith.
Shipdham gliding …. A Scheibe SF-34.
The Pawnee Tug.
PZL-Bielsko Pirat making a supurb, sedate approach.
In the hangar …. what is this ??
and a V tailed V35B Bonanza …. undergoing large repairs.
So to Northrepps … and a flying Chipmunk.
And a few on the ground …. Zenair Zodiac.
Dynamic WT9.
Jabiru.

If I’m not mistaken, that’s Tony in the front and Chris in the back of the Felthorpe Chipmunk G-BXDG…

WP840. I have no idea what the coloured stripes are ? but they are present on a lot of 8 Sqdn Shackleton photos in this thread from another forum (hope the link works)
Keith.
Wow! Those Shackletons sent shivers down my spine, incredible aircraft.

You missed the three Puma’s that arrived in the afternoon then!

They do indeed represent a Chipmumk used by 8 sqn for aerobatics etc from lossiemouth when equiped with Shackleton’s but the painter got the colours in the wrong order.

What are the yellow (red?) and blue stripes either side of the fuselage roundel on the Chipmunk?

Gliding is something i’ve always wanted to experience..oh well maybe one day 😎
You’ll love it as it is so quiet and peaceful compared with powered flight.

Unless I’m very much mistaken your unidentified mchine is a Denney Kitfox. Nice photos by the way, looks like it was a good day out. Certainly worthwhile if you can present us shots like that.
