Some of my ropey photos, of some of what was going on. I don´t have a big zoom lens, so I was lucky to get any shots of anything in the air, and those were more by luck than judgement!
Whats the history of this 3350 powered Sea Fury?
He pu on a great show. The prop wash created some perfect smoke rings in the still air – and he actually flew through one!

Are the Hercules engines in the Noratlas the only Hercules now flying?

I hope the OP doesn’t mind me adding a few images of my own, but it was such a superb (spectacular/wonderful/insert adjective here) weekend that I feel I have to throw a few photographs out there!
You can read the three reports from Global Aviation Resource (written by Paul Fiddian, Huw Hopkins and I) at the links below to find out more about our five day trip, with hundreds of photos from the event.
1. The Sikorsky S-38 was one of the highlights – first time I’ve seen it fly. Here she is arriving with a low pass on Thursday.
2. MeierMotors’ bare metal Yak 11 from Bremgarten is a beautiful machine.
3. It could almost be Where Eagles Dare…
4. There were an amazing six Junkers Ju-52s in attendance – here they are arriving in formation on Friday.
5. Where else can you get that angle on an arriving warbird? Dan Griffith on short finals in Stephen Stead’s Spitfire MkXVI.
6. Another Bremgarten resident was this Yak 9.
7. The cloudscapes offered some lovely photographic opportunities.
8. I hadn’t seen a Schlepp since North Weald 99!
9. Mikael Carlson was one of the highlights of the weekend in the Bleriot/Thulin XI.
10. The airfield remains open until long past midnight, with a free night-shoot and light show, as well as live music, a hangar dance and of course, plenty of hot food and drink.
11. A windowless double decker bus was positioned at crowd centre to enable visitors to get a panoramic view of the packed flightline (some 300+ aircraft).
12. One of the highlights of anyone’s airshow season!
13. Six Storch in formation, what a wonderful sight – including Peter Holloway’s aircraft, arriving at Hahnweide following a 12 hour flight.
14. There were a fair few people there!
15. Another highlight of the weekend – Catalina and S-38.
16. Air-to-ground from a Broussard on Sunday. I also had a flight in an An-2, just brilliant.
17. The Flying Bulls’ P-38 Lightning, always a delight to see. Their Mitchell was also in attendance and the two formated on each day.
18. More of the Me-262.
19. Mikael Carlson’s Bleriot, one of the best displays I’ve seen all season.
