RNAS Yeovilton Air Day 2007 - Propellor Displays

[cspyro21]

Here are the prop aircraft that flew at the show yesterday - I've also included the formation of the A1 Skyraider, Hawker Sea Fury and Supermarine Seafire.
Again, some of these might not be overly good but I'm no Mictheslik or Heathaze

(Although there are many shots in the thread, the total should be 437kb )


The Pitts Special pulling over the top - nearly got blinded taking this photo!


The Pitts making a pass, shortly after this he climbed vertically.


Here is the formation of the Skyraider, Seafire and Se Fury. Not sure why the Seafire was so far behind - twice in his solo display his engine stalled (I think) briefly!


Here they are again making a pass.


As the Seafire broke off to prepare for his solo, the A-1 and the Sea Fury pulled away and I got them as they were doing so.


The Sea Fury flying his solo display.


There he goes again!


The A-1 Skyraider in his solo. First time I'd seen one of these as well and he performed quite well!


PR XIX Spitfire displaying - that was another good one 8-)


Grob 115e Tutor - I've flown in this aircraft a few times now with the ATC

That's all of the props - next up are the 'eggbeaters'

Very nice shots! Cant wait to see the skyraider, sea fury and seafire at Culdrose this year. Its pretty much all modern and historic naval stuff.  :)

The "stalled" engine is actually fuel starvation to the carb. during 0 and negative G aerobatics. It isn't a stall but a pause in fuel flow (a puff of smoke comes out behind the plane as the fuel hits the system again)
