Wow, Michael you've certainly been busy. Great shots, as always. That P-40 used to be registered in Australia. :(

Some nice shots there. I'm hoping the sun will be shining today. Just about to set off.

Lovely shot mic. The FW190 (?), is that one of the newly built ones?

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Oui. It's the French based example. The Duxford based example still isn't flying/allowed to fly AFAIK.

You gents over there across the pond always get the coolest airshows, I will never see most of those birds over here.

Seems some well timed R&R is required Truck :)

Thanks for the comments :)

Here's a quick video of the spit tailchase/German pair. Highlight of the day...absolutely stunning flying. Didn't know where to point the camera :P

I was up on the bank just to the left of the burger sign (where the 190 roared straight overhead :D)
