A few more of the carrier types - these were mainly shot in murky conditions, so I've had to brighten them a touch, hence the lack of 'punch' in some.
The last three shots show the P-26 'Peashooter', when it taxied to the hold on Sunday, before returning to the ramp, due to cross the wind being above limits, and finally, being packed into a shipping container on Monday, for return to the 'States.

Superb photos Terry! I'll be glad when the airshows pick back up around here. Until then, you and the rest of the folks here keep going.

Sweet shots there Terry, you wouldn't happen to have more shots of this P-40 would you?

Airframes · Jul 20, 2014

Thanks again chaps, and yes Paul, there's more of the P-40 right here !
More 'fighters' to follow soon.

Micdrow · Jul 20, 2014

Thanks Terry, Looks to be the markings of 1st Lt Robert J Duffield, 85th FS/ 79th Fighter group. wonder how accurate the paint is as I have seen pictures of the girl on other 79th fighters but her back as always faced the other way.

Catch22 · Jul 20, 2014

Wonderful shots Terry!

Micdrow · Jul 20, 2014

Here is what I am talking about Terry, in this case the pilot is Lt Charles "Kim" Bolack. Picture is from the book 79th Fighter squadron by Don Woerpel. Bottom picture from the History of the 79th fighter group.

Just wonderful shots Terry and thanks again.

Ah, I see what you mean Paul. They normally get things 'spot on' with all the Duxford restorations / re-paints, and I notice the codes are different. Perhaps they had evidence that this particular aircraft had the girl the way they portrayed her?
A quick break from the 'action' shots, with a few close-up and ground shots, some during the show, and some of which were taken on Monday, when we returned for a mooch around. Unfortunately, the 'bare metal' P-40 didn't fly on Sunday, which was a shame.
Back to the flying shots next.

Airframes · Jul 20, 2014

And back to some more flying shots, with the three Mustangs ganging up on the pair of 'Buchons' - some great flying for which the pics do not do full justice.

Crimea_River · Jul 20, 2014

Superb shots Terry.

Micdrow · Jul 20, 2014

Awesome shots there Terry
