Just back from holiday, during which I finally managed to catch an airshow at Old Warden. It was great to finally see some of the magnificent aircraft they have there for myself, and see them fly as well.
I did manage to briefly show my face at the forum get-together so I think I’ve managed to put a few names to some faces (or the other way around more likely). I found the tribute to Steve very moving.
Although a lot of photos have been posted already, I couldn’t resist adding some of my attempts. Especially since we now have a lovely new photographic forum! Anyway, without any thought to modem users here goes 😉 :

Magister:
Sea Hurricane:
Small line-up of the Avro dynasty (with a stray Gloster sneaking in):

I can’t agree with you calling the trike ugly, it’s a thing of beauty.
I guess that depends on your point of view! Oh well, beauty is in the eye of the beerholder I guess…
Thanks for the comments all!

Lovely pictures Archer my favourite has to be the Spitfire with the hangar behind.
Good to meet you at last.

Great shots, Archer. Like the unusual angles on AR501.

A few more:
The person who managed to park something so ugly in front of something so beautiful needs to get his beer allowance witheld!!! 😎 (There went a lovely photo…. 🙁 )
The Lysander looked lovely:
Static shot of one of the Ryans:

And with the planes being moved back to the hangars…
And the sun slowly setting on a lovely day…
It was time to hang up the helmets and go home.
Thanks everyone for a lovely day!
