Hey there everyone!..
The Six (G-APSA) is due to appear and fly at our show (Air Show Ottawa – June 28-29) – yes, on THIS side of the pond.
I design and produce the poster, souvenir program and print advertising for the show and am hoping to make contact with anyone who had hi-res (suitable for large format off-set printing) photos available of the Big Bird. I’m really looking for something stunning that is suitable to cover the equivalent of 2 A4 pages.
I have already sent an email to the group via their website, and made secondary inquiries through UK-based friends regarding this subject.
I would greatly appreciate hearing from anyone who has either photographed the bird or has direct contact information for anyone who has.
Cheers,
James

Great news for my local airshow…
Will she based at Carp or do you think she will fly in from YOW on daily basis?

Hey Andrew,
All the information passed on to me indicates that aside from the Media day activities at YOW on the 27th, she will be operating out of Carp during the show itself.

Several of us who contribute to this forum are volunteers with the Air Atlantique Classic Flight ground support team. A few of my night photos of this epic machine appear on the image gallery of this DC-6’s website (see below). I expect however you want some action shots taken during its show routine but I’m sure one of us can help you even if its to put you in touch with relevant AACF personnel or the crew to help meet your need.
If you still require help then PM me your email details so I can forward to some of the individuals more directly involved with the aircraft if you wish.

LL – I don’t think Will works for Classic Flight anymore – although I believe he continues as a volunteer.

Wow only just stumbled across this as knowing G-APSA is ex Eagle thought I would read up on her. Looks like you will be in for a treat!

Try damien burke at handmadebymachine.com he had some corkers of the DC6 at Blenheim – we were right underneath it doing the pyros and had a grand view.
in fact, we were so impressed with the display that (being on the committee and all) we booked her for Sywell in August!
My favourite display from 07 no doubt about it.
