Here are the prop aircraft that flew at the show yesterday - I've also included the formation of the A1 Skyraider, Hawker Sea Fury and Supermarine Seafire.
Again, some of these might not be overly good but I'm no Mictheslik or Heathaze ;)

(Although there are many shots in the thread, the total should be 437kb ;))

Image
The Pitts Special pulling over the top - nearly got blinded taking this photo! :D

Image
The Pitts making a pass, shortly after this he climbed vertically.

Image
Here is the formation of the Skyraider, Seafire and Se Fury. Not sure why the Seafire was so far behind - twice in his solo display his engine stalled (I think) briefly!

Image
Here they are again making a pass.

Image
As the Seafire broke off to prepare for his solo, the A-1 and the Sea Fury pulled away and I got them as they were doing so.

Image
The Sea Fury flying his solo display.

Image
There he goes again! :)

Image
The A-1 Skyraider in his solo. First time I'd seen one of these as well and he performed quite well!

Image
PR XIX Spitfire displaying - that was another good one 8-)

Image
Grob 115e Tutor - I've flown in this aircraft a few times now with the ATC :)

That's all of the props - next up are the 'eggbeaters' :D

Very nice shots! Cant wait to see the skyraider, sea fury and seafire at Culdrose this year. Its pretty much all modern and historic naval stuff.  :)

The "stalled" engine is actually fuel starvation to the carb. during 0 and negative G aerobatics. It isn't a stall but a pause in fuel flow (a puff of smoke comes out behind the plane as the fuel hits the system again) ;)
