I think you maybe correct on this. Identification isn’t made any easier by inconsiderate positioning of aero plane thingies. This happens at every meet we have! Even more inconsiderate is positioning of barriers far too close. At Waddington this year one of our members lost a unique chime recording from a Mr Whippy. It was lost due to some idiot in an aero plane flying over making a terrible racket. Some of our younger members dropped their ice-creams in fright. It really is intolerable! Thanks for taking the time to post these images and hope that you can visit and contribute to the websites in the future.

Lol!!!! :p:D

TJ I think you are mistaken, icecreamvan 1 is of a Mercedes orientation.! 😀

Picture 1. Definately a 1992 Bedford CF, with a Perkins 4108 engine. Noted on this model was a Carpigiani ice-cream machine, mix fridge unit, chiller and twin hand wash basins.

Looks OK here A330.
I invested in Photoshop Elements, well worth it. My scanner sometimes reproduces lighter or darker. You can also easily resize. I spent a frustrating time trying to remove a burger bar from behind a Spitfire in one photo.
Fun fairs, ice cream vans, burger bars and in particular loudspeakers are a ‘natural hazard’ of airshows.
mmitch.

Thanks for that David… I would also guess that yu are right on the ice cream van. lol :D:p

Another updated shot using the new scanner:

A330 – It appears to be a Piper L-4H Grasshopper – can’t help much with an i.d on the ice cream van- transit based??

All the above pics are at this years Biggin Hill. This pic is BN230 the Hurricane at Manston.

Let me know what you think on how they have turned out. Thanks. 🙂

Im not really sure what this aircraft is… but im sure someone on here knows:

another pic of the same aircraft but from a different angle:

I like it. Not a huge change but makes a visual impact-Looks good.

A nice, small change and I think that change has made a dramatic difference to the drab livery currently in use.

IB needs a full makeover not to play with colours here and there.

To me it don’t really look all that different. Just the big IB on the tail, which I have to agree with EGNM, looks crap!

Although I still think Ibeari need to do something about their current livery.

not keen on that tail with the “IB”
