    Here’s one of the Helldivers that was on display just before the Movie was opened and then at Hood Aerodrome.

    They look even better in the flesh.

    Now thats one Jet i would love to see again, I remember them as a child doing Flypasts at Biggin Hill Airshow.
    Great photo’s nice to see some of old UK residents again.

    I have an .AVI of it doing the Roman Candle (flame out the back) which is around 16MB. How could I post it here?

    Few more…

    La-9, Corsair & P-51 (apologies for the wooden post !!) and a DH flypast…5 Tigers, Rapide and Fox-Moth.
    Incidentally, my wife and I went up in the Fox-Moth last June for our Honey-moon !!
    I had trouble with lighting on that day with my average camera.

    Was the flypast posted anyway on the net so us Southern Hemisphere people can get to see it?

    I also once read that an old Sea Prince was blown up for the belly-landing shoot. I’ll see if I can get a link or source.

    “The third plane lost during Deep Freeze 71 was an LC-130F, BUNO 148318 on Febuary 15, 1971. The Hercules was taxiing on the skiway at Williams Field for a flight to Christchurch. It taxied around the Ground Controlled Approach building in poor visibility, and the left main ski went up over a 5 1/2 foot snow bank. The right wing hit the ground and broke between the two engines. A fire, feed by fuel and fanned by high winds destroyed the aircraft (VXE-6, 1971)”
    (from “United States Aircraft Losses in Antarctica”)

    Very sad news.

    I lost my father at 21 to a road accident. Words cannot adequately describe the pain you go through.

    Thinking of you, Dan.

    Excellent stuff,…

    When you get up in the Yak-52, don’t be afraid to take some pics and post … 😉
    I’m sure we all here would appreciate it.

    Cheers
