Wanaka Pics # 2

Apologies for the quality but I got another shot of the ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE formation of the Camel going flat out while the Mk XVI was nearly stalling…The Spit is actually maintaining altitude ONLY JUST at the high angle of attack !!!!

Just compare it to the one in the “Hun in the Sun” thread… Same type!! (Who’s reg I’ve just twigged G-ETME.. Get Me… D’oh!)

Yep Arm Waver, I have taken a look and it is a great differance indeed. The one seen here at Wanaka has been modified a lot. You can hardly speek of a me108 anymore. But still nice to look at it.

and another…

The Me-108 has butane cannons that actually make machine gun noises over the noise of the aircraft even in flight…

But the Hurri got scrambled and shot it down.
SO ……..it landed , taxi-ed along and “shot up” the crowd while taxi-ing…:D

Anyway, I have to admit to my love of the Nan’s…

Yak 52’s flying well….

Not quite centred but a difficult shot when youre shoulder to shoulder with the public (literally !!)

Apologize me to your partner please! :p

Close formating Nan’s again

The Me108 is a Nord 1002 – Unusual engine though…

Yes, my father and I are just talking about the same thing. Does someone know the engine used here?

I’ll try my best, Stieglitz

I’m just as much as an addict as you. My partner kept getting frustrated cause I kept getting excited and taking off on her to take piccies of aircraft like a kid at a fair !!!:D

Anyway, Nanchangs peeling off and looking good !!!

Absolutely fantastic pictures.
Thanks for sharing them.

Yes turbo_NZ! Give me the historic stuff! I know I am a addict! I think a lot of people here recognize good stuff when they see it!

Hopfully you do not give me a overdose!:D

Thanks again!

Cheers,

Turbo,

more excellent pics, fantastic shot of the P40 starting up !, please post more !

…….. any idea who was flying the Poli’s ?

Thanks….actually the P-40 was taxi-ing in after a display…

The Chaika & Ratas were flown by John Peterson, Steve Taylor and John Lanham.

Also I think John Lamont took another of the Rata’s up but had to do a quick landing due to a problem (never did find out what went wrong).

and againski….:D
