Oooh nice, which airfields are they flying over or is it the same one (Lossie)? And why the ‘target’ in the first photo, would that be for rotary wing?

looking forward to coming over at the weekend and seeing everything and the result of all the hard work that has been put in

My wife would kill me, but it’s very very tempting, only thing that would tempt me more would be if it were a FRS1 on offer

The shadow on the wing/tail seem very dark in comparison to that on the fuslage but it seems like beermat has offered the most logical solution:)

Looks like oil/soot to me, there is shadow from a plane on the fuslage but even the darker areas of wing above aren’t as dark as that behind the wing and on the tail, even though you would expect it to be darker on the side of the fuslage where it curves than on the flat upper surface of the wing which is essentially on the same plane as the top of the fuslage.

The only shadow I can see that matches the area in question is the underside of the outer engine and part of the tail fin, the plane above it is too far away to cast such a strong shadow, hence the ambient light/distance is diffusing it on the fuslage and would do the same on the wing.

And on further inspection there are two darker areas directly behind the engine, if a shadow were being cast it would all be the same level.

Bu**er, likewise just down the road and already in the diary, good collection of stuff and a nice display last couple of years.

What’s the reason behind the decision, nothing too serious I hope and fingers crossed for next year.

That’s a dirty old bird…but she’ll still fly like a dream
