Flying Legends 2018

Thanks Andy.
It's clearer in the full-sized photo, but note how each pilot is looking at the aircraft to starboard, with the exception of the 'leader' on the starboard side of the formation. A good demonstration of what's required for close formation flying.

Great shots Karl, especially with all those heads of the so-called 'Press' photographers getting in the way !

Good shots there Karl - looks like you've got the hang of the camera and lens set-up.

Great shots Karl !
My bad ones were mostly head shaped !

Next up was the P-47 and B-17G 'Sally B'.
As I've got shed loads of pics of resident 'Sally B', I didn't bother much this time, concentrating on the one I really wanted to see, newly returned P-47 'Nellie'. This aircraft was a long time resident at Duxford, when painted as 78th FG 'No Guts, No Glory', and has spent the last 20+ years in the USA, returning to Duxford earlier this year.
Well worth going to 'Legends' just to see this beast.
More of the P-47, and other stuff, tomorrow.
