Thank you Jay. I am going to Dunsfold Wings and Wheels on 24/08/08 but it seem the Vimy will be firmly on the ground at that show.

Thanks

Hi Jay

I did not realise the Vimy had come off the runway by as much as it did. The second youtube Video certainly shows it more much more serious than compared to my level view.

As to why it went off the runway, I bow to your experience as a former pilot.

Thank you all for your kind comments. It is a Vampire.

I line with my new policy of trying not to post too many pics, only three more.

The Chipmunk was the last visitor to leave the airfield on the day.

Thats it

Thank you Jay and Teej.

Jay, I got a bit worried about the Vimy. It had come partly off the runway nearside almost in front of us and looked like it was about to go in to a concentric turn.
I got a shot of it as it was going wobbly but there was a security guard right in front of me at the critical point and anyway I was about to decide my next move.

Excellent efforts by the pilot to control and turn it away and bring it to a safe halt.

Teej, oddly enough the Hunter was probably the closest jet aircraft to come toward the crowd line on Saturday.
