Good ones Karl, and not dismal at all, considering the conditions - even the early part of the show was a bit tricky to photograph, due to the backlit cloud to the west.
EDIT ; We're obviously posting at the same time. GREAT job with the Mustangs - the ones I messed up !

It certainly is - bit peeved that mine isn't good, due to 'finger trouble'
The Martlet and Catalina were next, still in grey, wet skies. The vortices from the Cat's props can just bee seen in the take-off shot - clearer in the original, full-sized pic.

Many thanks all.
I am so stunned, and saddened at the loss of the Collings Foundation B-17, and the loss of life and injuries, that I personally feel that, at the moment, it may be inappropriate to continue posting pics of this particular airshow.
I know that "life must go on", but I'll wait awhile, and continue after a respectable delay.

As I'd rather get this thread finished, I'll continue. There are still a number of shots to present, but most of the finale, with the Spitfire formation, are unusable, due to the error mentioned earlier, and the dark skies. However, there are still some of the American trainers, and the two Yaks, and I'll start with the former in this, and the next post.
Five American training aircraft were involved in this display slot, with the Stearman doing a solo display, and the rare Yale and the Vultee Valiant, and the former Boscombe Down Harvard and Portugese Harvard, performing dual displays. I was particularly pleased to see the ex- Boscombe Harvard, as I modeled this particular aircraft a few years back.
Note that the Valiant and Yale took off in formation, accompanied by a Duxford-based Red Kite !

More of the trainers, with two of the 2-seat Spitfires taking off for a display elsewhere - Yaks next.

This and the next post show the Yak-3 and Yak-9, which displayed in very dull conditions. All pics 'rescued' by altering brightness, contrast and saturation.
