I wonder how often GAvA president Michael Turner sees clones of his work pop up…

I think you lost the picture? (I don’t see any)

That first video is a major anti-climax! I was just turning up the sound. The second video however more than makes up for that! Wow, what a performance!!! Incredible flying!

Very nice photos!

Did anyone read what was on the sign the Red Bull’s Corsair pilot was so thankful for? In a glimpse I read “sexy beast” but not sure if it actually said that!! 😀

This is what really caught my eye on the participation list. Something I’ve never seen flying at Duxford as I’ve only been going since 2007.

I’ve been going since 1997 (though I did miss a number of shows) and I think the last time I saw an Avenger perform was in 1992 and/or 1995 in the Netherlands. For me it was the highlight of the show! A wonderfully spirited performance. Every time it made a steep turn and dove back to the airfield I got a glimpse of what Japanese soldiers must have experienced on the receiving end of a strafing run…!

A twin with an even shorter nose!
