Latest pics - August 2016

Postby Hagar » Thu Aug 18, 2016 10:56 am

Here's a few photos I've taken in the past few days.

First of all I went over to Shoreham last Thursday to try & catch Peter Teichman's P-51D in her new colours. This was worth waiting for.
"Jumpin' Jacques" is now "Tall In The Saddle".
Image

Also caught John Romain in the ARCo Tr.9.
Image

Then down to Popham on Sunday for the Motorcycle Mega-meet & Fly-in. Lots of motorbikes & aeroplanes in almost perfect weather for a change.
A smashing day out. Here's a small selection of the aircraft.

A rare bird in these parts. Porterfield CP50 Collegiate.
Image

Not so rare. A nice Jodel.
Image

The resident Yak 52.
Image

From the sublime to the ridiculous, or vice versa. The largest single-engined biplane in the World to a couple of the smallest.
Image

Image

A surprise visitor. Slingsby Skylark from nearby Lasham landing out.
Image

Image

The tug arrives to pick it up.
Image

Image

A nice Proctor.
Image

Another nice surprise. This time the BBMF Mk IIa gave us a few passes on its way through..

Very nice Doug, you really do have a good eye for a shot (as usual :) )

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Awesome photos Hagar!

Loads of great aircraft there, you've captured some cracking action shots!

Especially love the Antonov AN-2 Colt! Definitely one of my favourite aircraft!
