Here's a few shots I took at Shoreham today. Nothing too exotic. Just a typical holiday weekend. Add a little sunshine & the old airport comes to life. Spring is here at last.

Some very nice shots there Doug. Nice colours on the the Tomahawk, and some of the others too!

Must meander down to Shoreham on weekend...

Chippies rock
I'm a little concerned about G-AXNNs U/C, it appears to only have 2 wheels

Using weight - shift to balance on the mainwheels,,,

Hmm. I hadn't noticed that. Have to be more careful what I post in future if you're gonna be picky.  

I was more concerned about the main oleo struts. They looked a little tired & saggy to me. I used to overhaul them & they're right little so & sos. The nose strut isn't much better come to think of it.

I hope his prop is made out of rubber
Mind you I've had the misfortune to see breasts that are more saggy than that U/C, there really should be a law against the over 35s DD brigade sunbathing topless

Great shots Doug.

Looks like you have some admirers in shot 1.

They know they're safe enough up there. One look at me is enough to see I'm harmless anyway.

What a nice variation of aircraft you've got at Shoreham. I wish I could meet those amounts of aircraft in Weinheim (EDGZ; mainly sailplanes).  :P

What aircraft is number 3? Interesting place for an engine

Gotta love the Chippie! Great shots Doug!

What aircraft is number 3? Interesting place for an engine

It's a Britten Norman Trislander. 3-engined stretched version of the Islander. They use them on the Channel Island service. Very interesting but I'm not too keen on the look of it myself. I suspect they pinched the idea from the DC-10.
