Juanita Franzi appears to have done a profile of the same Swordfish in this configuration, her website is very basic, but you might find further details on her Facebook page.
Do three fibreglass Spitfires being trailered down the A34 count?
Add 3 Stampes in formation as well, a very decent spotting day!
Add another Spitfire to that, very high & heading North this time. Plus we won our cricket match.
Woohoo! That ups the spotting game!
Spit PRXI, blue-nosed P51, and the Blenheim over Horspath, heading East. Oh, and the Skyvan again.
Not really a spotted but I discovered this morning that the builder who put in our new bathroom is the son of a knighted Air Marshall!
ETA to make it fit a bit more, guess what, just seen the Skyvan over North Oxford.
Sadly, entirely unexpected. Everything bar the Dak and the Chipmunk have Merlins, and could be affected by whatever seems to have caused this. It seems crass to comment on the timing, but the D-Day commemorations will be that bit thinner and sadder.
Oh no! All I can do is echo the views above, how tragic.
Chipmunk over Didcot again.
Good to hear there’s a Broussard about, proper aeroplane noises! I remember seeing one with two Flamants, and they sounded lovely.
I think that merits a FFS!!!
Someone has screwed up very badly indeed. It’s a delightful show, too. Hopefully they can sort something for the autumn.
Indeed, Paul.
… and a considerably happier end to their authentic WW2 experience than some of those flying with US operators have had, thank goodness.
As an aside, does anyone remember the tale of the ex-Luftwaffe who visited Bath for the 60th anniversary of the Baedeker raid, was taken for a flight over the city, and the engine failed? I recall the pilot said “He was much calmer than me, he said he’d had plenty in his time”, but I did have a mental image of him thinking “Sixty years and still they want their revenge!”
An interesting sounding spot in the far distance seen from Woodcote, Oxon.
Chipmunk over Didcot.
That’s something I’d like to hear running. The only sound clip I ever heard sounded startlingly like a Tucano, that sort of hoover drone.
