Here's a 'job lot' showing the 'Training Aircraft' display. Although perhaps lacking the 'impact' of the 'warbirds', the Tiger Moth, Bucker Jungman (CASA) and Stampe SV4 put on a nice show of formation flying, and some graceful aerobatics, and provided a colourful 'intermission' from the snarl and growl of the fast-flying fighters. I particularly enjoyed the display by the Stampe, as I used to get to fly one occasionally, back in the 1980's.
The Gladiator and P-40 did a couple of fly-pasts in formation, before the 'Gladbag' performed a solo display, showing just how manouverable the last of the RAF's biplane fighters was. A Squadron of Gladiators was operational from Roborough during the Battle, tasked with the defence of naval installations.

Some more of the Gladiator.

Nice ones Terry. I had no good flying shots of the P-40.

Thanks Andy. I got a few of the P-40 in the early display, but had to crop them and enlarge from the center, as they were quite far away. Here's an example.

Great shots guys, and keep them coming! Makes me want to go home tonight pull out my DVD of the Battle of Britain.

Although two Hawker Nimrods displayed on the Saturday, the Mk I and the MkII, only the MkII took to the air on the Sunday. In basic terms, the Nimrod is an up-graded, naval version of the Fury.
Here's a selection of 'semi-sequential' shots of the Mk.II, chosen from those taken during a number of passes over the field.

Really great stuff Terry.
