Superb shots Terry, from the shots you have taken it looks like they put on quite a show!:shock: Impressive.:cool: Really like the shots of the Lysander to!:thumbright:
 
Thanks chaps, glad you've liked them so far, and sorry for the delay in posting more.
Here's a few abstract odds n sods, whilst I try to assemble some of the finale. The Me 108, shown in the hangar, was listed as flying, but it didn't make an appearance on the Sunday, these shots being taken, along with those of the Hellcat, on the Monday after the show.
The final display on each day of 'Flying Legends' is the 'Balbo', when a massed formation take off, assemble, and overfly the airfield. This year, numbers were a bit down, but 18 aircraft were airborne, in one long formation, on the Sunday.
Unfortunately, this here numpty had filled the HD card on the Nikon, and could only get a couple of shots with the little Fuji 'bridge' camera, so I'll 'fill in' with some general shots for the next couple of posts, before closing with at least something of the 'Balbo', very soon.

As promised, here's the final few from the finale of the show on Sunday, the 'Balbo', when a massed formation take to the air for the closing fly-past.
Numbers were rather low this year, due to non-arrivals because of weather on the Continent, and with some grounded due to cross-winds or technical problems.
I had my own 'technical problems', as I'd filled the memory card on my Nikon, meaning the final shots were 'snatched' on my little Fuji 'bridge camera' in some cases.

Thanks for the kind comments throughout this 'presentation' - next show will be the Little Gransden Air and Car show, over August Bank Holiday, when I hope to see two Lancasters airborne, and the mighty Vulcan.
