Hello Guys.
I found the time to post some pics from my last trip to La Ferte. I’ll include many of the aircraft that attended the show to give you a idea about the big mix of planes that where there.
As always, the show started with some light planes:

Great shots!
The biplane in the first pic, is that a Hatz?

That has to be the only justification for visiting France. I jest of course. I like the touch of doing the Spitfire pics in B&W, adds atmosphere.

Thanks for the constructive FB.
Built to original plans and powered by a 180hp Hispano.
Looked great on Friday night with the Fokker DR1 (130 Clerget rotary)
There were four rotary-engined aeroplanes, one Hispano and a Warner Scarab in the air on Friday night.
It was fun.
Yes melvin. I noticed someone in a red plane had great fun that friday evening. :p
Greets,

Nice pictures, although some of them are a bit over-exposed.

Maybe, but if you look at the airshowprogram, they describe it as an original. But it could be … 😉 Anyway, it looked great!

Very impressive, keep up the good work.

Great stuff, Stieg, as always 🙂
One thing, though. That “original” SE5a – is it not a replica with an original engine?

And to close this photoreport: For all the people who are from the UK: don’t panic! There where even some Spits there! 😆
The end of yet another great LFA show.
Cheers,
Stiggy 🙂

The WW2 theme started with a great moment for the french with the debut in france of TFC Curtiss Hawk which few together with the Swiss license built MS406.

I don’t think this needs further info. 😉

Luxery planes from that period where also there:

Next theme was WW1. Once again, we could see great dogfights with these oldies:
Also this original 1918 SE5a was a highlight:
