The "aged" aeroplanes...

Postby C » Sun May 07, 2006 3:46 pm

Well, to be fair, two of them are only 40something, but the Blackburn Monoplane is 94(!) this year... The Bleriot (1909) and 1910 Deperdussin stayed in the hangars...

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

Seconded Mark, it's a beauty.

Well done Charlie, some nice shots for those of us who couldn't get there......are you going to put the upcoming dates in your sig again so we can all plan ahead?  ;)

Thanks also for the 'personnel' insight  :)
