    oooww 🙂
    great advice!! don’t understand all, but hope to get some on the job training on the bus on the way to duxford.

    I guess if i screw up I can always download your pictures here on sunday evening and put them on my memorycard back in the cam 😀

    Would a ring (is it called convector ring?) to increase to 400 be helpful? I know it takes light away, but shouldn’t the digital technology give more breathing space here?

    Would that change any of your advice given prior?

    Nice ones Vlado..
    just keep the nametags a bit more sober, they really distract from the image itself, if I may say so..;)

    As far as I know the towns council voted by minimal majority that the plane would be disposed of, rather than having it restored. I guess it’s up for grabs

    I still think that aircraft on the movie frame is one of Belgian Hurricanes. Aircraft used by RAF squadrons in France (including 501 Sqn) should have white and black undersides of wings. Am I right?

    Don’t think so Gretza; the colour pic one looks like a threeblader to me..
    great pic anyway

    The other thing that caught my eye are the two aircraft in the background right (and perhaps one left of the Viscount’s port main gear).

    Of the two on the right, the left most is probably an Avro York from the high wing and three fins. What’s the other one? Its four engined, low winged, single finned and has a tail wheel. My immeadiate reaction was Fw200… which seems pretty improbable. Could it be an Avro Tudor?

    Here’s about the best blow up / ‘enhance’ I can manage:

    Hi Ray Jade; I saw these pic’s now for the first time, what a fascinating time machine these pictures are! As for this blowup, i flipped through all the pages but may have missed anyones reply. If no one did; my guess is your ” four engined, low winged, single finned and has a tail wheel” object is a HP Hastings

    Great pictures, fantastic clarity. Just the last shot of the thunderbirds crew is confusing..
    That the pilot is ready to undo the bra for the grandfinale is clear, but why are the guys undoing theirs???:D

    Has the BBMF Lanc ever been pitured together with Jane?
    Wouldn’t it be great to have the BBMF Lanc drop in for a cup of tea at East Kirkby, rather than just overflying the place?

    Thanks for sharing these pictures. Was there any flying with the historic aircraft during this event at Lelystad?

    At least on saturday there was a formation of dc-6 with 2 dc 3’s or the dc 2 flying; they came over my part of town, but I was not in a good spot to have a good view.. 🙁

    Not quite brambles – will gum trees do?

    U sure those are not eucalyptus trees?
    I lived down under as a kid in 66-72.. have great memories of eucalyptus tree smells, magpies and kookaburra’s and Goanna salamander dragon’s larger than me in the playhouse..

    Mark, Olivier, Richard; thanks very much for your replies. I am surprized that it’s actually from a Mustang…next thing to do of course is find out what crash it came from. it’s probably from a Dutch crash site…and look for actual pics of a cockpit to find out how it looked complete.. This is how it looks in IL-2 sims..

    regards

    GREAT PICS!
