One heck of an Old Warden military pagent!

WOWโ€ฆWhat an Old Warden show!

Not only did the Seafire debut, it took part in a RN Historic fly past, which was fantastic.

The Lancaster display was the best I have seen, and the trainer formation was equally impressive.

Lots more to come, but hereโ€™s a taster!

I have to admit that I am a little jealous. Although we apparently have a lovely collection of warbirds here in Canada, due to budgetary constraints, they don’t fly often except of course for the incredible Lancaster. But I do wish we saw them a little more often! Incredible machines they all are!
By the way, I just wanted to mention that you have a great collection of shots! ๐Ÿ™‚

Fantastic show, superb pics and beautiful weather. I loved the Seafire and seeing the RN formation, a unique spectacle.

However it was a shame that the commentator did not appear to fully know his subject, he should have been more accurately briefed. This was particularly evident during the RN display.
