    Thanks Neal.
    Two aircraft not featured in the photographs were the TFC Hellcat and Wildcat.
    One expression fit for their display…

    The Fighter Collection sent several warbirds, this P-40 put on a ‘super display.’

    …and they also sent their rare Curtiss Hawk 75, flown by Stephen Grey.

    Another rasper was the Beaver from the Army Historic Flight…

    There were a few Chippies in attendance, this one belongs to the Army Historic Flight.
    When I first saw the Chippies on arrival I immediately thought of Steve Young.
    I never met him, but as indicated so clearly on this board the aviation community is certainly the poorer with his passing.

    Hope the pix are OK, more can be seen here.

    I’m told that XE601 was down to display, but at the very last moment due to work commitments, the display pilot was called away.

    RAF Halton I would think, at some point between 1989 and 1993.

    Great shots of the Mk.3 Merlin Dan.
    The others are all top notch as well.

    The Hunter only moved out of store last month, so it’s good to see it again 🙂

    One wonders where they (Solent Sky) are going to put it. :confused:
    The same applies to the Scimitar and Swift.

    Congratulations though on the purchase!

    She’s currently based in Switzerland, although I am not 100% sure whether it is a permenant or just an extended stay.
