Remember 2 months ago: La Ferte Alais 2005 pics

What a show lovely picks Stig – thanks for sharing!

TT

Nice pictures, looks like a great show despite the weather. What is the aircraft in front of the three Harvards in post 14? Looks like a single seat Harvard with a high back.

Thanks
Stuart

This single seat Harvard was built as a harvard MKIIb and saw service with the Belgian Airforce. It was converted by AJBS for film work to NA-50 cofiguration. This is one of the very very very few original surviving Belgian airforce Harvards and I would of course prefer to see it back in it’s BAF 25 seat configuration (of course).

Thanks for the positive comments guys!

Cheers,

Very nice, Steiglitz! Always good to see something a bit different – I especially enjoyed those Morane-Saulnier parasol shots. Do My eyes deceive me, or do I spy a SPAD lurking behind one?

What on earth is F-AZBG? It looks like a Stampe who’s mother was frightened by an elephant! 😀

P.S. M’sieur Langham, I think the Russian bioplane must be a PO2 – I don’t think it’s that big, just that Steiglitz was a bit close!

great shots nice to see the 109…brill

“NA-50”

Great stuff, Stieg.

Stuart – methinks it’s a Harvard modified for a movie role some time ago, but I’ve read elsewhere this isn’t the case. :confused:

And so we arrive back at the jet age and at the end of this years show.

I know that the quality of some pics isn’t always superb, but I think they are still worth posting. I also worked a lot on my photographic skills. I have made great progress in how to handle my new camera and you will notice this in 2 more picture treads which I shall post later this week. 😉

So I hope you could enjoy this tread and I hope it might have brought back some nice memories to the many members who attended this great show in May.

Also a big thank you to all who made my LFA trip possible!

Greets!

On sunday, we also saw the close formation display routine which is becoming a well known example of formationflying skill! 😎

After the WWII scenes we came back to basics:

You could also spotsome nice WWI machines in the static line:

Very nice, what is the huge Russian biplane?

Some other highlights!

Always liked these birds too.

Unidentified flying object? :rolleyes:

A little cool down (to catch some breath) with this lovely Tiger Moth! 😉

YAKS!!!! 😮

They gave a nice show around the Stalingrad theme:

Now Some more with several highlights in my opinion. See for yourself (I don’t think any additional comment needed.)

And some nice wheels also!

And of course ….. 😀

And the show went on!
