G-VFWE Part 1

Postby Hagar » Mon May 17, 2004 4:26 am

I'm back all sunburnt from the Great Vintage Flying Weekend at Abingdon. I've seen enough aircraft to last me for a few days, many of them extremely rare. I took so many shots I can't possibly post them all. I can't imagine what Oshkosh must be like. :o

This event gets more popular each year & it's now difficult to get shots without someone getting in the way. Some people seem to enjoy counting every rivet on the plane & seem oblivious to the photographers waiting paitently for them to move. They paid their money to get in & I have no right to interfere with their pleasure - especially as I managed to get a free pass for both days. 8)

It's difficult to know where to start. Here's a few shots I put in the Cute category.

I know these are not all vintage aircraft. There were plenty there but homebuilt & light aircraft of all types are welcome at the fly-in.
