Yeovilton Airday pictures

Of course, Albert – yes, I’d noticed. These are the new (!) HAS6(CR), which have recently been converted to remedy the shortfall in Jungly airframes.

Don’t have a list of serials to hand, but several are XV… numbers from the very first production batch.

Brief details here:

This is the histerical forum, after all – how many people did you realistically expect to notice this?

Cheers.

I am very surprised no one has commented, or even apparently noticed, that some of the Commando Sea Kings have FLOATS!!! These are possibly converted HAS.5/6s and wonder if anyone knows the serials?

To brycheiniog & Maarvin, Good shots of ‘our’ Spitfire PR Mk19, could I copy them for my records please??
We waited all morning at Lynham to launch for Yeovilton,

Got to Filton Hangar at 08.00 picked up gear for Daily Inspection, drove to Lynham, dispatched Mk19 at 14.20 drove back to Filton, recovered Mk19 carried out post flight check on aircraft, got home about 17.30, a good day! It sounds like it was worth it!
Cheers………………

It was a nice display – even more appreciated after the rain. Many thanks for all the efforts. No problem about the pic, I’ll have a look and see what else I’ve got. Expect a PM.

Regards.

Amaxing pics, especially like the seaking /chinook , lynx/seaking shots.

It was good to meet you Jonathan 🙂

Tony – What settings did you use for your photos ??

I can certainly let you have my pictures of PR19. I have sent you a PM with my email address in. If you drop me an email I will figure out some way to get the pictures to you.

Cheers

Did I miss something here? :confused: 😉

Great to see the Sea Fury and the Sea Hawk back where they belong! 🙂 Stunning pics.

Many thanks to all!

Can’t get used to seeing a Wasp (especially one in a variation of HMS Endurances Falklands colour scheme) without the floatation packs – it almost looks naked.

Ahhhh – I’ve reinstalled my laptop, but lost my PS Pro disk – mine will have to wait ’till tomorrow now.

Was it you I met in the queue going in, Tony?

Regards to all

Lovely pictures everyone. I braved the weather as well and at one point seriously wished I hadn’t. However, the Sea Fury and Sea Hawk were well worth the milage 😀

Highlights? Well, obviously the Hawk and the Fury. The Fox Moth was up in some of the worst of the conditions and gets my bravery award. Andy Sephton gave a polished display in the RR Spit, and Alister Key was very impressive in Ferocious Frankie.

And, although it didn’t display, it was nice to see a Grumman Avenger with a turret (no offence to Tony Haig-Thomas)

Some of my efforts…..

could you email them to me please

Absolutely marvellous shots!

Yes, shame we can’t post video.

Absolutely marvellous shots!

it was very nice to see the seafury & seahawk in the air again
