Autumn Air Show 1

[Hagar]

I've been going on about it for long enough so here they are for what it's worth. A few photos from the last big display of the season - the Autumn Air Show at Duxford. It was a great day out but not one of my best with the camera. I hope Tempest did better than I did.

These are from the first part of the show.










I have some more but it's been a long day so they can wait till tomorrow ... errm ... later today.

Your pics are always my favorites Hagar. Awsome as always.

I have a TON of pics I want to post from yesterday when I got to take a ride in a Ford Tri-Moter.

Oh, remember I told you about the DC-3 junkyard near my house? Well, I didnt get to see it from the ground but I got a great picture of it from the air.

The photos look Ok to me Doug, Was anything mentioned regarding the Sea Fury, it was reported that it only made one pass then landed. Then took off around 5pm  and flew around the local area for a while.

Thanks chaps.

These are some of the better ones hastily cropped/resized for posting here. You should see the ones I messed up.

Not sure what was up with the Sea Fury. (The commentary was less than brilliant. IMHO) It did one single pass (which I missed) then landed. He seems to be a tad careful with it. This is not surprising knowing the bad luck they've had with them in the past. The current display pilot has less than 10 hours on type & maybe he's not taking any chances, especially at the end of the season. I noticed they seemed worried about a prop oil leak after it arrived.

Nice photo's Doug - Storch and Jungmeister particularly...

Anyway, the Sea Fury did a few passes with the Sea Hawk, held to the north for a few minutes then did a straight in approach to land. At the end of the show it took off, and re-appeared 15-20 minutes later, joined overhead, flew a circuit and landed. I left the field at 1800 and it was still there then...

It left for home when I was stuck in the traffic jam trying to get out of the airfield. (I assumed he was heading for home, maybe not.) Wish I'd hung around for an hour instead of wasting it sitting in my car. I'll know better next time, if there is a next time.

I got in my car at 1620, drove 50 yards in 40 minutes, parked again and went to browse the rest of the stall that were still open. Bought a nice pair of Vulcan socks (socks with Vulcans on them) from the XH588 people.

That ain't a Storch. This is a french copy of a Storch painted  in Luftwaffe colors.
