The Merlin Sounds Nice, But There's Something About….

…The Griffon! 🙂

After the many great photos of SX336 that have been posted here and on the other forums, here is a small video clip of it starting up and doing a flyby after the show, on it’s way back to North Weald. 😀

I would have had put the takeoff in too, but I botched it slightly. 😡 At least I got it O.K during the display.

Sorry for the few seconds of lens cap too, but I stupidly took my eye off the viewfinder and forgot it’s tendency to blow itself back on! 😮

Hopefully I’ll post some more footage later of the formation and solo displays.

SX336 Says Bye Bye To OW

Cheers

Beautiful, what a delight to see and what a sound!

Great work by all concerned.

Thanks for the snippet Bradburger.

Bandwidth exceeded 😮

Sorry about that Stringbag.

Meant to say that would probably happen at sometime! 😮

Anyway, appears o.k now.

I’ll upload it to YouTube or one of those sites later.

I’m glad you all enjoyed it.

Cheers

Like the wooden Zimmer, Mark – fits in so well at Old Warden. Edwardian model perchance? 😀

‘Grey Power’

Paul,

It is comforting to see these grey haired old men, flying, maintaining…and photographing this wonderful machine.

This shot arrived in my mail box from Peter Chick. 🙂

Superb footage. Even with the lens cap and the static aeroplanes getting in the way.

It was nice to meet you and put a face to a screename.
