Warbirds at Mildenhall

[ozzy72]

Well the P-40 and the P-38 were both out of commission for this weekend, so here is a selection of the REAL metal
Low in a Harvard

The 'Stang getting airborne to do its stuff...

Who let Exploder in?

Oops I farted, quick open the canopy

Something not seen over Mildenhall for 60 or so years

Fantastic stuff Nice shots, nice flying and nice aircraft. I wish we had an Fw190 and 109 on the display scene for real.

[ozzy72]

There used to be a 109 a decade or so back, what happened to it?
Oh and the 190 is making a comeback, there is a company in Germany making them again, and allegedly one is on order for the UK.... I'll see what more bumf I can get

Ps. There is a replica 190 flying in Switzerland that is meant to be doing an airshow in Croatia shortly, guess who might just be visiting a Croatian airshow next month

109G Black Six was based at Duxford but only had a short flying time before it needed to retire. Sadly on it's last airshow outing it ended up in a ditch just accross the M11 whilst landing back at Duxford. The pilot was OK and it is now on show, fully restored, at Hendon I think.
Taff Smith has a Hispano Buchon (Merlin engined Spanish built 109) on the airshow scene this year but it just isn't quite the real thing is it Black Six had a fantastic sound.
I hope we get one of those 190s over for a show here some time.

The P-51 is by Shigeru Tanaka, and it and the 109 package are available over at no-nodes

The latest is Roger that the plane has been stripped down for painting (this photo was 2 months ago), so she'll be flying through the summer airshow season. I'll try and contact a friend of Gilles and see where he's planning to fly...

That 190 even looks meaner in the flesh!

Great results there Ozzy! 6kg's, I'm impressed!

Wrong aircraft,Mark. The guy in the 190 was my uncle. I flew the 109...


Good to see that those guys have a 190D. There are not many of those around nowadays...

[codered]

It look like you will have to replace the antenna on that Spitfire...

Great shots, I wish I could have attended the airshow....
