Marvellous! I hope the weather stays at least reasonable for you guys. Have a great time, and of course, get some shots of that FW if she gets airborne!

Ok guys I got back this morning had a great time and very nice weather specially on the Sunday
I took my old video camera not that i know how to use it but the sound system is good so i thought Id stick a video of the shows opening fly past with my image postings (its at the bottom) Its pointless looking at it as all i did was turn it on and left it alone while i took some pictures but you can see a pile of dots zooming about.
You need Quick time to view it (sorry) hear it but turn up the volume and listen to 7 Spites a Buchon 109 and a FW190 ( I don't think you'll have too much trouble picking out the FW)
I shall start my attempt, ahem at pictures (i've seen Gary's wonderful shots so dont expect too much guys) with the FW190 replica I make no apologes for the over size pictures, as in my book the bigger the better.

Nothing wrong with those shots mate...all my ground to air shots are too dark, not inmpressed !. She is a cracking plane to watch isnt she, and what a climb rate !...I was busy looking for the sky hooks that she was attached to as her rate of climb was pretty damn indecent (actually a lot better than the jets at where I work !!!) and certainly a lovely sound track as well.

Great stuff Lee, absoulutely cracking shots mate! I 've just thought, this is probably the first time a '190 has flown across the Channel from France since the War!
Glad to hear the weather stayed good - I saw the original forecast, for sun on Saturday, and rain Sunday - then it changed to p*ss*ng down for both days!

The pics came out great...and that Fw190 is sure a good looking machine!
Nice Black White photos, too!
Maybe we can take the sound file and add it to a database along with my B-24 sound file!
