Thanks chaps.
A couple more of the P-40s, and the start of the Spitfire and Mustang display, with the Dutch Spitfire, and Norwegian P-51D.


 
Thanks again my friend. Some of them could be better, but a bank of darker cloud came in for a while during the end of the Spit and Mustang display, lasting during the four-ship Spitfire display which followed, causing some exposure problems.
 
A few fairly poor shots of the Spitfire formation, and I must apologise to Marcel for being (jokingly) blase, when I said "What, only four !", being accustomed to seeing 12 or more at Duxford !
This was quite a sight for aviation fans in the Netherlands, and I forget how lucky we are in the UK, to have so many Spitfires airworthy.
The Law of Sod deemed that the sky turned fairly dull for this display !


 
The next two posts show the Air Combat Europe team, with their ultralight aircraft with the odd name of 'Black Shape Prime', an extremely interesting and quite fast and agile tandem-seat aircraft, with a 'glass' cockpit, and powered by Rotax engines.
These were equipped for simulated air combat, and flown by former F-16 pilots - who had the benefit of a very attractive ground crew member !
The images are not as sharp as i would like, due to hand-holding the camera.
