The pink on the wall to the right is remains of car after cloning tool. Also where street lamp has been removed has produced anomalies on the right hand roof edge again poor use of cloning tool.
I would say most certainly fake just a lot of PS work.
You will find the picture without plane but with modern cars here

I wasn’t quick enough with my “it’s difficult to see” 😀 But its clearer now.
Ok thanks Martin cannot get better than the horses mouth.
I saw a reference elsewhere the Shack was purchased for nearly £25000. Big bucks.
This is not the figure that I have been told, I would not like to break a confidence but the source may be along here and comment.
Are you able to state your source?

Now the BBMF Spitfire Mk XVI TE311 painted as TB675 4D-V and Hurricane Mk IIc PZ865 painted as HW840 EG-S.
This Hurricane is the last ever built and was entered into the 1950 King’s Cup Race by Princess Margret and flown by Gp Capt Peter townsend CVO DSO DFC*, coming second.

Of course, sadly, the Lanc was unable to attend but it would be worth going back just for that, hopefully next year.

Pictures of Miss Pick Up getting wet here
Deskpilot.
Thanks. I thought much the same about the Catalina, what a sight that would have been, the sea did appear to us to be calm. However, as others have said, salt water and I am not clear if they do any water landings as clearly they put the airframe at greater risk. Plane Sailing lost their previous Cat when it sank with the tragic loss of two lives, such an event would certainly make me think twice. A little digging and yes they have attended the Fermanagh Seaplane Festival in Northern Ireland. I have heard of other splash-ins in Europe however Miss Pick Up has no “wet” events in her 2015 schedule at the moment as far as I can see.

With regard to flying directly at the crowed I am sure somebody who knows about these things we be along but as an “airshow” it will have to have had approval and all displays verified. All of the participants took similar paths when approaching the viewing area which was L shaped running along the pier and then about a third of the way along the prom towards my positionThe bay is about 2 miles wide and fairly deep with cliffs at both ends and the 400mm lens makes everything foreshortened making it look like the planes were closer to the sea front than they actually were. Looks good though!
The Red Arrows will be interesting.

Thanks Andy, I had been planning this location since I saw the potential at the first airshow two years ago.
Yes WOW as I am sure you can imagine looking down on the aeroplanes as they pass close to the cliff to line up with the flight line. I do not know of another airshow location where you can watch the display like this. Beachy Head offers good photo opportunities for the Eastbourne Airshow and I hope to get there this year, but then I thought that last year! Not sure what the situation at Bournemouth is.
Hi Deskpilot,
It has been my experience that much fewer forumites visit the “Photographic” forum compared with “Historic” other than perhaps when there is a major well know airshow.
I felt that the unusual photographic opportunities offered by this small and little known resort airshow might interest forumites who do not normally visit “Photographic” However, the “correct” forum for airshow is “Photographic” so I posted a “heads up” in “Historic” with a few sample pictures to wet the appetite with a link to the full post in “Photographic”.
I did say in my first post in “Historic” that these pictures were just samples with a link to the full set in “Photographic”
I can see that using the same title for both was probably a mistake.
I will be posting more pictures in “Photographic” but not in “Historic” unless to illustrate any point that has been raised there.
I would prefer that the two threads were not merged into one as this would probably be in “Photographic”.
Perhaps a mod would care to comment on the acceptability of this approach, thanks.
Thanks Mothminor, I think you will like these.
My personal favourite of this show and the first time I have seen Miss Pick Up in the air with the extra bonus of above water.
The RAF Catalinas have a close association with North Wales as they were converted for RAF use on arrival from the States and also returned for repairs at the Friars Works of Saunders-Roe at Beaumaris on Anglesey, about 12 miles west of Llandudno as the Cat flies. Rows of flying boats could often be seen moored along the banks of the Menai Straight during the war.
Plane Sailing’s Miss Pick Up is Canadian Vickers Canso A ( Consolidated PBY 5A) starting life in the RCAF with serial 11005 and registered here as G-PBYA.
The present colour scheme represents the wartime USAAF OA-10A Catalina 44-33915 which operated rescues services from Halesworth in Suffolk.
Miss Pick Up caught us by surprise arriving around the headland below cliff top level and too close for a 100mm lens.

Next up was a local aeroplane from North Wales Military Aviation Services at Hawarden the BAC 167 Strikemaster Mk82A. For some reason I found this difficult to capture so what follows does not really do justice to the full display.
