well i was sitting in my room when i heard a strange drone, i thought at first it was a motorbike going by then as it got louder, i took a look outside and to my suprise what did i see?



I had to rush downstairs to get these shots as they were fast going out of zoom range, and in the process i blew out my knee, while it would have been nice to get a closer picture i think its well worth a blown knee
Someone might like them

Nice Craig. Well done for getting your camera in time.
Now for the more important work, - the evaluation. What planes are they?  ???Maybe you all know, - I don't .
Any suggestions?

Nice work Craig
They look a bit Stearmanish to me
The might have been off to a certain airshow where one of our photography fanatics was today.... keep an eye out for Hagars photos

This looks like the AeroSuperBatics display team. http://www.aerosuperbatics.com/ Probably off to a show somewhere.

It was originally named the "Crunchie" display team then after changing sponsors became the "Utterly Butterly" team until last year. Not sure who sponsors the team now. When I saw them at Shoreham last year they had 4 Stearman aircraft.* The frame on the top is for the "wing-walkers". I don't think anyone is up there in your photos.

They weren't at the event I attended although there were a couple more Stearmans.

*PS. I think I have some photos somewhere. I'll look them out.

You did well to get those shots Craig.

This one was taken at Shoreham in 1997 when it was the Crunchie Display Team. It's not one of mine. I think they only had 2 aircraft in those days.

thank you all for your replys:)
I saw two of them returning, those pics they were going in a south westerly direction, i cant think of any shows in that direction maybe someone knows??
They were in a blue yellow scheme as you can just about make out in the photos, so maybe its still the utterly butterly team??

I think Hagar is right. You see these quite often during the Summer at airshows or just passing over. They always seem to have a girl on the wing even when not at a show.

Nice try and good shots CraigL

Thanks!

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug
