Many thanks again.

Thanks Wojtek and Hugh, and sorry for the delay in posting this next group - been a bit preoccupied with a sensitive personal issue.
The two resident Buchons provided a neat display of precision formation aerobatics, but I'll admit, this time around, I did more watching than photography.
I'll try to post the next selection soon, but as mentioned, I have some difficult things to deal with, and will be going away at some point this week.

Thanks again.
The Spitfire duo performed next, giving their usual professional display. Again I spent most of the time watching, rather than 'shooting', especially as a lot of the shots would have been directly into the sun.
Back as soon a I can, with the Hawker biplane trio.

Thanks my friend, it's much appreciated.
Still working on the Hawker trio pics, so meanwhile, here are a few abstract shots, including a KLM Cargo '747, passing at around 15,000 feet.

So after that underwhelming intermission, it's back to the flying, and the lovely sight of three Hawker biplanes.
Whilst the Gladiator played the role of 'The Joker', the Demon, Nimrod and Fury formed up, to pass in a three-ship a couple of times, before breaking-off to do singleton passes.
With the sun sparkling off their silver wings, it wasn't hard to imagine what it must have been like at the pre-war Hendon Air Displays, and these graceful biplanes were a joy to watch.
More to come just as soon as I can.

Thanks again chaps, glad you like them - more soon.
Andy, EP122 is a new rebuild, first flight in May this year. It was recovered from Gozo, where it had been pushed off a cliff after a forced landing in 1943. Substantial parts of the fuselage and engine etc were recovered in the 1970's.

Another outstanding report my good man. I love that Fury and the new Spitty is pretty spiffy as well.
Cheers,

Thanks Jeff and Andy - many more Spits, in formation and crossing passes, later.
The next 'slot' was a little more sedate, and represented the fighter training element, with a pair of Chipmunks and the Portugese Harvard, the latter rattling a few glasses with it's prop tips.
Coming next, the BBMF Lancaster ............
