A belated post of Sundays action.
An excellent display in superb conditions, I just wish I had the foresight to have a pitch selling water and sun screen!
Highlights for me included the awesome contra prop Spitfire and the SAAB B17. It was great to see the Shuttleworth Gladiator up with the TFC Nimrod, surely its time OW booked the Nimrod to fly with the Hind, two Kestrels now that would be something.

A final selection from Legends, which includes a pic of the Battle of France Veteran Billy Drake. Lastly, did anyone manage to get a shot of the recently restored RE 8 that was hidden away at the back of the restoration hangar.

Interesting airshow program, maybe more challenging than it seems to be when flying a Jungmeister.
By the way, I hope the G meter is wrong 😮 (broken ?), or the poor bugger must have suffered from a load factor well above the limits…

This one didn’t… but that pic was taken rather early on Saturday when it was still cloudy:

I’ll have to check my other pics.

PS. I find it interesting that the contra-prop Spit is flying with the radiator full-open. I suppose it runs a bit hot with this weather? :rolleyes:
I think all the Griffons had it full open on Sunday. It caught my eye anyway…

Very nice. Interesting to see the Irish Spit. I missed that on Saturday.
