Old Buckenham 2022

[rochie]

Terry and I went to our first Airshow in 3 years at Old Buckenham.

here's some of my shots from a rather poor performance with my camera (worse than usual this time !)

i'm sure Terry will fill in with some much better shots than i managed, anyway on with the Show !

RAF Falcons Parachute display team.

they jumped from 800 ft in rather cloudy and windy conditions, that were also a bit touch a go as to whether they would actually jump but they put on an impressive display from such a low altitude.

Great shots, Red Two !
That was one of the best displays I've see by The Falcons.
The Old Buckenham show took place on a former 8th USAAF B-24 airfield in Norfolk, just 20 minutes from my caravan site, and it was where the actor James Stewart was based, and from start to finish the whole event was perfectly organised, with terrific traffic management, friendly and very helpful ground staff, and a spacious crowd line, which reminded us of our visit to Oostwold, Holland, in 2017, being very relaxed and not overcrowded.
I'm still in Norfolk at the moment, with very hit and miss Internet connection, and limited capacity on my lap top, so I'll sort and start posting my pics from a great show when I get home on 14th August, with a few in my "Travels of Tel's Tin Tent" thread, and the bulk of the pics in this thread.

Nice ones Karl, especially given the changeable and challenging light conditions.

 

[special ed]

The Hurricane shots in the weeds look like spy shots, especially the look the pilot gives you.

 

[Snautzer01]

Nice.

usual spitfire shots

 

[Capt. Vick]

You don't see that everyday!

 

[Airframes]

What, only three Spitfires .............. Oops, sorry Marcel, please don't make Karl punch me !!!
(with reference to Oostwold, 2017 !!!)
I think I got some reasonable shots on the day, and will edited them and post when I get back home on 14th August, meanwhile, I look forward to more of Karl's pics.

Brilliant shots Karl and I do like that thoughtful message to the NHS, like our health system they are being crushed under this COVID but still manage to come through.

Lovely shots Karl!
