Yes Neil, I did.
Odd looking bird if you ask me. This is the only one flying in the world today, owned by the Commemorative Airforce out of Texas.

Yeah must be a busy bird...saw it 3 weeks ago and then it left the airshow at the end of the day to go fly to another one!

Certainly is odd. But I have a thing for weird/ugly Naval planes.

Oops, now there's a clue! I think they're a little more careful with it now, being the only one left flying.

Wow, that had to be awesome to meet him!

The second one is a Chipmunk I believe. Otherwise, don't know!

Thanks guys. Cory, you're right about the Chipmunk.
Next batch of pics are of the contingent representing the Great War. These are all from the Great War Flying Museum in Brampton, Ontario.
This is an 80% scale replica of an SE-5A:
Sopwith 1-1/2 Strutter:
And 2 Fokker DR 1's:
That's it for the warbirds and trainers. There were aerobatic acts as well but I'll stick with the warbirds and continue posting more studies of these if there's continued interest.

Great pictures Andy, how did you manage to get such good shots without people crawling all over you or your subject. Particularly like the SE 5a of James McCudden VC who received this award while a Flt Commander with 56 Sqn.
