Eastbourne Air Show

Postby Hagar » Mon Aug 13, 2012 1:47 pm

It's a while since I posted any photos. Here's a few taken last Friday at Shoreham during the 4-day Eastbourne show. Not as many display aircraft based here as in previous years.

Paul Bonhomme, one half of the Matadors display team.

Back in Breitling colours

New on the display circuit. A nicely restored Bucker Bestmann. Shame about the modern engine.

A rare bird. Spitfire Mk Ia P9374

The Aircraft Restoration Co Hispano Buchon.

PS. Saturday was not one of my better days. I missed the Vulcan doing a low pass down the runway in formation with the Blades aerobatic team. :(
Even worse, I also missed this.

Great shots, where were you shooting from?

I sailed down in our dinghy from Pevensey Bay SC with 2 of my grandchildren on Friday. We parked up just west of the pier with all the other boats just outside the exclusion zone. The display although not as good as previous years was still very good and the weather was fantastic. Well done Eastbourne.

The Vulcan cost the local rate payers

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

Thanks for the comments.

My old spotting haunt at Shoreham Airport. Eastbourne has no airfield so some of the display aircraft are based here during the show.
