what’s the biggest airshow at OW, or better the one u cant miss? I’ve been there in january with Ben and there was such a great atmosphere despite nobody was flying!
Alex
I think last year’s show featured more planes, but the mustang duo was really superb: such tight formations require a lot of training!! And yes, Stephen Grey is a helluva pilot!!!
Alex
…kinda offtopic, but I think me and geedee have the best avatars around here 😉

here’s the link of the supposed austro-daimler http://forum.keypublishing.co.uk/showthread.php?t=44114
while the one provided by mmitch shows the chaps we spotted at DX. They were rocking the throttle too much, causing engine pops and grunts
Alex
..not to mention the photographers on the flightline who had special “accompanied duxford press” fluo jacket.. they kept on hanging around between the courtesy line and the planes taking their time to take pics and not bothering about ppl who paid 4 quid to get not as near as them.. I am sure they were all professionals, but maybe once again the DX organizers might give them a dedicated time slot next year…
Alex
Fabio, did u try here? http://disc.server.com/Indices/63687.html
this is surely a good place to ask for such interesting subject, please keep me updated about it!
Alex
i posted a video of what seemed to be an austro-daimler engine some time ago, i even had a video of the merlin(?) and griffon(?) running at Legends, but it’s a pretty huge file..
Alex
yep, he had to take his italian pal around hendon. We spent a good 10 minutes on Hendon roundabouts, it was such fun! 😀
Alex
so that’s where the DC-3 was heading to when she took off from Brunters: they performed a really cool takeoff, i have it on video but it’s a kinda big file..
Alex
roger that, I was lurking around there last year 🙂
Want me to leave my arse at home then? 😀
Alex
considering the size of my ar$e u could well see me when we’ll leave the M11!! Will u really wear the “goat” T-shirt?
I’m writing and packing my luggage eheheheh
Alex
I’m glad this is the prevailing spirit here, this will make me feel safer on my journey there tomorrow morning.
Alex
according to metcheck.com we should have some light showers like last year.. sunday seems to be way better (like last year!), but I’ll be lurking at Brunters 😀
winds are from the north, around 7 mph, so girls leave your skirts at home 😉
Alex
I have a photo that I use for inspiration when the rainclouds of life weigh heavy on my shoulders, but I’m not sure if it’s appropriate to post it here.
Michelle Marsh maybe? 😀 😀 😀
Alex
one of my beloved liveries is of an Albatros V flown by a german ace pilot with glasses (!!!), dont remember the name right now, but it was overall black with two HUGE edelweiss painted on both sides of the fuselage: so elegant and impressive! 🙂
