:o I never expected to see anything like this. Merlins could be heard on the ground too. :o
Image
Wonder how many gallons to mile he gets out of that?
Image

Back to the aircraft. Hello, what's this then? :D
The mighty Jug arrives. Think this is the first time I've seen one in the air.
Image
Nicely done Sir. ;)
Image

One of 4 Harvards at the show.
Image

And another one. Very colourful. ;)
Image

The ubiquitous little Piper Cub. This one's in L-4 Grasshopper markings.
Image

Now for the Luftwaffe. The Bucker Jungmann. This put on a marvellous display of aerobatics.
Image

A nice Fieseler Storch. Actually a French-built MS.500 Criquet with a Jacobs radial. I was surprised how big they are compared with the Piper Cub.
Image

Unfortunately the promised Bf 109 (Merlin engined Hispano Buchon) didn't show up.

I love that Jug ;D I've not seen that Merlin car before but I bet he needs a fuel tanker to follow him home. I wounder if it has a twin stage super charger ;)
