I think a visit to Bex may be required.

Thanks James,
Hopefully Flapjack will answer this one as he owns and flies the Hunter.
Melvyn, I heard the Vimy maybe taking to the skies sometime soon, have they secured the services of the certain little red Beaver pilot yet.

Great shots Jen,
The solo Hawk and Mustang shots are very good.

Thanks everyone, and especially ‘Flapjack’ for once again leaving everyone with such a lasting memory of the show.
Flapjack, regarding the impression of the the Hunter being closer than the Spitfire. I’m guessing that the size differential of the two aircraft, coupled with a depth of field that has kept both aircraft in focus to the point that they appear much closer together than they probably were in reality, is fooling the eye or should I say the brain of those that view the shot.
Its a shame so many missed the shows finale, I guess many left early to avoid a repeat of the very slow entry speed.
Here’s a further selection.
















Thanks Martin,
Looking forward to seeing your shots now.

Welcome to the the forum Jen,
A great set of shots despite the wild conditions.

PS. Will post a few of mine later.
Thanks everyone,
Martin, I will hopefully see you at Eastbourne next week.

Thanks Daz,
Always a great day out at OW, especially nice to see the 108 at close quarters, as I’ve always had a soft spot for this ubiquitous film aircraft.
I’m still working through my shots, but here’s a few more.

Here are a few vintage shots of Silver Lady back in 1994 when she appeared at the Breckenridge (Texas) airshow.

Here is the Spanish example.

The pilot for the closing Spitfire sequence was the late Neil Williams.

I believe this is the Video I believe your thinking of Dave. They were both very well produced with some great footage. At the time, early eighties there were very few dedicated aviation subjects on tape.

Dambusters back on the big screen.
I’m not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet but on Tuesday September 4, the Dambusters will be screened at selected cinemas across the country.
The Dambusters is one of seven films that will be shown as part of a ‘Summer of British films’ season.
As yet I can’t find a definitive list of cinemas taking part.
