Shuttleworth Informal Flying Evening 26 Sept 2009

Well, what a superb event. The decision to put the aircraft in the paddock for closer inspection was truly inspired. It was a lot of extra hard work for the engineers but it really did make for a superb event. Ass to this the lack of wind and clear skies and it meant we had the first proper “Shuttleworth Evening” for a good few years.

The ground crew entered into the spirit of the event

The revised layout for this show certainly worked.

There were many different views to be had!

Ok on with the aviation. Paul Stone in the Provost put one on of the nicest displays I have seen in this aircraft.

Yet another set of superb images. The SE5 and the moon shot is my favourite. I also like the ground pictures, nice compositions.

Thanks

Martin

It doesn’t get any better than this at an airshow anywhere on the planet. A very big thanks to everyone who worked particularly hard at this event to make it so special, but credit has to go to Andy Preslent for the inspiration.
