Hello again,

Today, I will add some pics of the Oldtimer Fly-inn at schaffen Diest here in Belgium. It is known as the biggest oldtimer event in my country. So here they come:
The first plane that got my attention when I arrived was the early birds foundation’s Fleet 2 which comes from the Netherlands:

Was there by any chance also a black Boeing Stearman (probably “Old Crow”)? It flew over my place earlier today and was wondering what it was doing here.

Stieglitz
Thanks for posting.
A very good selection of stuff.
I particularly like the Gipsy Moth and orange Belgium Stampe SV4’s.
Cheers

And the Stampe was there of course! 😉 Here is a example of the SV4c. This variant was designed in Belgium, but built in France. This aircraft comes from the Stampe museum at Antwerp:

Nice shots Steiglitz, is the ANT very noisy? The passengers have got the pilots (and the cockpit) between them and that big radial!
Any Stampe(s) at a Belgian flyin? 🙂
mmitch.
Yes mmitch, it is more noisy than a biplaneride in for example a Tigermoth or a stieglitz. A real russian rumbling beast this is!
Yes, the Belgian built Stampes where there in force. Pics are still to come! 😉
