Last of the Legends

[HawkerTempest5]

OK chaps, last lot. I know you've seen enough of this by now but I just had to share a few more pics of my favourite airshow.

Avro Anson C-21

Gloster Gladiator MkI

Grumman F7F-3P Tigercat.

Bu 133C Jungmeister.

Hawker Sea Fury FB.11

Polikarpov I-15 bis

North Americam P-51C-10 Mustang

Two P-51Ds and a Yak-3

Douglas C-47A Dakota.

Avro Lancaster B.MkI and Hawker Hurricane MkIIc

Well that's it for another year. For me at least, every other show is a slight anti-climax. If I only did one show each year, it would be Legends.
Thanks for putting up with my self indulgence and for chocking up the photos forum with pictures of old aeroplanes.

thanks for all the shots. They were wonderful. Looks like it was a great day.

Great stuff. I suspected you had a few more up your sleeve.

I suspected you had a few more up your sleeve.

I took 367 snaps, mostly on the flight line but it just takes ages to look through them. I could just keep on posting but folks would just get fed up with me
I'm glad you all like my pics and I think Hagar's shots are amazing.

You're too modest. I suspect if you cropped those shots carefully & resized them at a higher resolution (800 pixels instead of 600) they would be better than mine. If you like to mail me the original of the Gladiator or Tigercat I'll show you what I mean.

PS. I don't consider this editing or cheating, simply post-processing. Photographers have been doing it since photography was first invented.

Amazing! Those two shots of the Mustangs look like you were flying along side them

i think that your Yak-3 in reality is a Yak-11... same airfame past the engine mounting but with a 1000 hp radial

It really is a Yak-3

Thanks Doug, I'll take you up on that. I'll send you the unedited originals tomorrow.

Thanks for all your comments chaps, glad you enjoyed my pics, I certainly enjoyed taking them.
