Manston Airport. Sorry, I did not know that ! What a wonderful tribute to all of those people.
91Regal. Thank you for your comments, I’snt there an old saying …. “from the mouths of children comes the truth” or something like that ?

Manston Airport. James, yes that was a tweaked photo from today, there was no sight of any oil smoke etc from Sally B today ! I rather think the smoke from the engines was an advertising (for donations) thing ? below is an untweaked photo from today, with the same smoke trail ….. Keith.
I always thought the reason they put that White smoke on at the end was a flying memorial to the tens of thousands of American aircrew who lost their lives over Britain and mainland Europe, 😎
Some more nice shots there keith:D
Thanks for the info Yak 11 Fan

Very nice shots there, Keith, thank you. I spent the afternoon sitting amongst the general public who attended this airshow (i.e. the non-enthusiasts ) and the big hit amongst them was Sally B., particularly in company with the Spit and the Mustang. I think it was summed up nicely by the teenage lad standing behind me who, when the B17 has finished its slot, turned to his Dad and said ” I AM WELL IMPRESSED ”.

Thank you Anna, for all of your nice comments, I struggle to achieve your photographic standards !
And a few more for all !
Keith.
