Hi There,
Here are a few photos I have taken of some WW2 fighters that do or have flown in New Zealand.

Wildcat · Feb 2, 2009

Fantastic pics Gav! and welcome aboard. Love the RAAF Kittyhawk. IMO the coolest looking P-40 flying anywhere

Thanks for the feedback guys.
Here are a few more.
Sorry, the last shot is WW1 instead of WW2 but I consider that photo to be my greatest achievement to date.

Wildcat · Feb 3, 2009

Simply awesome Gav!! Was that last shot on the cover of Classic Wings?

Gavin Conroy · Feb 3, 2009

yip, thats the same photo.
At that time the editor recevied a load of emails from around the world from people saying its was fake as there are not seven fokkers flying together in one country and that that the formation was too perfect.

We are very lucky to have seven flying Fokkers there and good pilots made that photo, I was just the lucky mug on the end of the camera.

Here are a few more after searching through my photo bucket.

That last shot of the P-40 exhaust with flames just made it into the folder called Dan's Best Wallpapers....

Excellent work......

What are you in for the photo ship, Gavin? I love those head on shots.

Watanbe · Feb 3, 2009

Wow just wow excellent photos! I love seeing shots like this! Please post up more if you have them, its bolstering my collection! Thanks for posting these and welcome!

Especially thankful for the wonderful shots of the P40 in RAAF colours! Looks a tough and menacing but reassuring! Found its angles perfectly!

The shots were just superb, specially the last one with the Fokker's

Gnomey · Feb 3, 2009

Excellent stuff! The Fokker shot in particular.
