Hamilton Airshow, Ontario, Canada 2013

Hi All,

Well it’s all over now and what a great time I had over there. Everything was super, although we did have a bit of British type weather – rain! However, the guys said wait a few minutes and it’ll all change. I don’t know about the few minutes, but it did change – for the better, too! I took far to many pictures and so it’s a case of whatever I’ve sorted. That means nothing is in order, so I’ll start with the reason for going and you’ll see a lot more pictures of KA114 throughout this thread:)

Well, that’s it for now – I’m sure I’ll find a few more pictures to bore you all with:o

Hi Paul,

Just gone on Facebook and this video was there.

Mike Spalding was the pilot.

I have changed, slightly, the way I’ve done the PP – I would be interested in any comments. I’m hoping the pictures look slightly better.

Paul, I do know who flew the Mosquito, but his surname escapes me for the moment. I think it was Mike something:confused: It wasn’t Keith Skilling – it was MAM’s own pilot.

TTFN,
Neil

Great Photos Neilly,

Thanks for posting although it makes me wish even more that I had gone! It would be fantastic to see the Firefly as well as the Mossie. Out of interest do you know who flew the latter?

I fluffed the double cross over several times – so this was the best I could manage. I guess I’ll have to go back sometime in the near future and try again!

Yes this is the right way up! I’ll post post the whole take off sequence which was basically – take off go almost vertical on re-heat and do a barrel roll and only retract undercart when back on the straight and level.
