Well today I had a chance to get to an airshow. Old Warden. It was suggested to me by Hagar and I am glad i went now. Thanks to both Doug and Charlie for providing me with pleanty of info, and sorry guys i am no good with Comets Heres a shot i know Doug wanted. This was all i could get in the short time.

For those wondering this aircraft made a bumpy landing and it looked like he might go over completely. Some how got it back right after a few leans.
There are more to come but i will let Doug post his aswell. Although this was my best ever attempt with my camera.

Nice shot

No points for that landing

That's a hell of a shot!
... and a hell of a landing...
... not that I could do any better in that thing!

That's a nice shot Craig. Glad you managed to get it. Well done.

Wasn't a bad landing at all. The wind was gusty & he landed slightly out of wind. A perfect 3-pointer. It seemed to hit a bump & a gust of wind must have got under the wings & it slowly slowly tipped onto the opposite wingtip. Chief pilot Andy Sephton was flying it & I thought he did a good job.

I was talking to someone after the show who suggested it might have been better to wheel it on. Those WWI types can be a tad tricky at the best of times.

PS. No point in me trying to get a shot. By the time my camera warmed up it was all over.

Jeremy Spake gave it 6/10!

Arrrrggggghhhhhh......................!

My worst nightmare come true. How do you expect to get a good night's sleep after seeing that?

Worse than the Boogey man himself

He obviously wasn't focused enough.

LOL.
Seriously though, he had his nose stuck in the program. He introduced one aircraft incorrectly, that Charlie noticed as it was taking off. And it got worse

I'm feeling left out. What's the story with this guy?

I was wondering that all day & just realised who he is. http://www.jeremyspake.com/theman.html

In fact I quite liked him in that 'Airport' series but he doesn't know a lot about aeroplanes, not this sort of aeroplane anyway. Unfortunately this is not uncommon with air show commentators & seems to be getting worse.
