I'm still going through all the photos I took last weekend. Here's a few random shots taken during the day at Old Warden before the Sunset Display on Saturday. Some people seem to prefer shots of aircraft on the ground & the weather was perfect. My old F401 fits conveniently in my top pocket & is ideal for this job. A little sunshine makes all the difference.

Great photos again Hagar pal. We have a light aircraft fly-in and short display of Merlin powered aircraft at Rolls Royce Hucknall on Saturday so I hope to have so photos of that to post at the weekend.

Simply delicious Doug

Very nice!

Very nice. Amazing those things fly..

Hey, cool pics Hagar-I especially like the last 2 (I really like WWI aircraft).  I know the first one is an SE.5a, but what is the second one?  If I had to guess, I would say a Morane-Saulnier Bullet but those were used mainly by the French and I don't think they had a round tail like that.  Anyway, could you identify the last one?  

Thanks for all your comments.

*PS. I don't think it's flown for a while.

Haven't seen it in the air for a year or two. Engineering gremlins I expect, or maybe just rotating the collections aircraft so they aren't always airworthy (if you ground an aircraft for a year you don't have to worry about the same extent of insurance and pilot currency, probably saving several thousand pounds) - the collection is certainly big enough to do so.

On a flying note, I've heard it being likened to trying to land a (wet) bar of soap...

Very nice photos Doug. I'm starting to like Old Warden. Last week I came across this one: http://www.airliners.net/open.file/864504/L/
Simply beautiful with the grass and old barn at the back.  8)

Wonderful shots Doug...wonderful

You posted my favorite World War One Aeroplane the SE5A which I would trade the old girl, all the kids, their wives and their kids to have in the hangar LOL

Looks like you are having another great year...have fun!

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

What is the aircraft with the parasol wing in the fourth pic?

It looks like it might be a "Pietenpol Air-Camper"
Those were originally fitted with a Model-A Ford automotive engine!

That's exactly what it is.
They're very popular over here now. Being homebuilts they can vary a great deal. This one was built in 1991 with a modern Continental C90-14F.
