That Bronco was at Oostwold last year. Nice aircraft to photograph.

Yes, it is - those 'Dayglo' panels really stand out, especially against a dull background.
Excellent shots Terry!

The next display presented the WW2 communications and observation aircraft, represented here by the DH Dragon Rapide, and Aeronca.
Once again split between two posts.

Second set.
The Aeronca landed across the grass runway, into wind as there was a crosswind, and was heading directly towards us, bouncing on grass !

Nice Terry, I'm developing a fondness for the Dragon Rapide

Thanks chaps, and yes, the 'Drag Rap' is a classic among classics.
Talking of which, here's some more classics,and near the top of my list of favourites, with happy memories of seeing ex-military C-47 Dakotas at my local airport in the 1960s.
These two C-47s represented the the 9th USAAF's valuable contribution during WW2, used for para drops, glider towing and recovery, re-supply and medivac.
Due to the forum limit of ten pics per post, once again this set is divided between two posts.

Thanks very much, Paul, Wojtek and Shinpachi.
I made an error in the text in the last post - now corrected - when I typed 'Harvard' instead of 'Corsair'. I was thinking of the Zero replica, which is, of course, a Harvard with vis mods !
Those pics will be posted tomorrow.

A bit earlier than originally announced, the next two posts show the 'Zero' sequence, representing the attack on the airflelds at Pearl Harbour and subsequent American actions in the Pacific, with a Curtis Hawk, P-40C, Wildcat and Corsair and a French-registered Harvard converted to resemble a 'Zero'.
After the 'Zero' strafed the field, the US fighters took off to intercept, before providing a display in pairs, and the final four ship formation.
