New Wanaka pics

We do indeed have WW2 re-enactors. They had a period flatbed truck with WAAF singers doing ’40’s numbers all day.
“Pack up your troubles in your old kitbag”…

The Spit pilot was Lee Proudfoot & Ray Hanna
FG-1 Corsair was Keith Skilling
The 2 P-40s were John Lamont and Garth Hogan
P-51s were Steve Taylor and Graham Bethell
Stu Goldspink flew the Hurri
John Lamont flew the La-9
Nigel Lamb flew the Spit as well

Hope this helps, Dave
🙂

Torture again! I can’t hardly wait!

You’re welcome.:)

I have to sort more out yet so will post again tomorrow night

So we do have World War Two RNZAF re-enactors here in NZ. Cool.

Who was the Corsair pilot Chris?

Cheers for all those great photos, almost like being there.

They are great turbo_NZ! Many thanks for all those nice pictures! I enjoyed it indeed. 😎

Greets,

J.V.

I hope you all enjoyed these pics as much as I enjoyed taking and sharing them. 🙂

and the last for tonight (more to come:) )
The only surviving flyable Corsair that served with the RNZAF.

One of this particular Corsair’s original pilots was actually at the show would you believe ??

Nice Stearman

but for those *&^%%$ campervans in the background, this could have passed for a WW2 shot….

504K Frontal..

You’re right Dave,..my mistake, there were two there.
This is the RAAF marked Vampy

504K…

Me-108 (or the French equivalent ??)

A-37 taxi-ing…..lovely jet..

okay if you insist,…..:D

This is the only Brietling Fighters shot I got and it’s rather poor sorry but I will share…

Fantastic photos Chris, just excellent.

One point, that Vampire seems to me to be in RNZAF colours – note the NZ serial. In fact the red and yellow markings next to the Kiwi roundel also denote 75 Sqn, RNZAF.

I think it is the other Vampire in Aussie colours, isn’t it? There are two T11’s flying in NZ and I believe both were at the airshow.

no way !

excellent pics PLEASE show us more !

You peoples must have had enough by now…..??!!

Bristol Fighter…absol beautiful replica…

Camel, 504K and Dr.1…
