delta7 Posted July 9, 2017 Posted July 9, 2017 Home after a very good weekend, great to meet up with some of the gang, have checked and the photos came out fine despite the camera acting up, will sort them out and post them soon. Highlights were 5 hurricanes together then hurricanes, early spitfires and blenhem flight 5 Quote
BluBear Posted July 9, 2017 Posted July 9, 2017 Top weekend with the Dogz, feeling slightly frazzled now but contented. Great to meet you Dave, thanks for showing me the way of Talisker Will report fully when I have the energy, but just thought i'd share this from the events of today to show how a heart stopping moment turned out good.

delta7 Posted July 10, 2017 Posted July 10, 2017 here are some pics, I only have a compact camera which of course decided to act up , but this should give a flavour; Reprobates that kindly took care of me 5 hurricanes (not four candles) First time Id seen hurricane fly One of the mustangs The one I would have taken home if I could Flying highlight Nothing compaires to the gracefullness of a spitfire in flight or the sound of the merlins and griphons 4 Quote
2. Administrators Jabo Posted July 10, 2017 Author 2. Administrators Posted July 10, 2017 Thanks to Dave, Kev, Chris, Tom, Sid and Bongo for a great weekend. Minor hiccups aside, the show was probably one of the better ones of recent years with a welcome return of the Horsemen, five Hurrricanes (!), 12 Spitfires, 5 Mustangs and plenty more. And (especially for Michael) some piccies - starting with Friday. Mustangs in the sunshine; Richard Grace and the Fury; Not Steve Hinton as we originally thought but one of the other pilots renewing their display licence in Sharky. Pigeon rolling Dragon Rapide flown by the recipient of the 'Handsomest Pilot' award. More Pigeon Arrivals Mmmm Messers Shipley, Hinton and Freidkin (and some random old dude) The Horsemen departeth... More Pony action - this might go on a bit... That was Friday then.... 4 Quote

1. DDz Quorum Painless Posted July 10, 2017 1. DDz Quorum Posted July 10, 2017 Excellent pictures Nick thank you sir. Glad you enjoyed your visit Delta, shame I missed the chance to meet you after all these years. Just read the airshows forum link Chris, plenty of bitching going on I see !! State of the nation mate : ( Was bongo really the best looking pilot there chaps ? LOL 1 Quote
Sweper Posted July 10, 2017 Posted July 10, 2017 Great photos. Thanks for sharing. Ponies looks great. Obviously there wasn't (air) room for all of them 1 Quote

2. Administrators Jabo Posted July 10, 2017 Author 2. Administrators Posted July 10, 2017 So it appears that I managed to catch BE's canopy failing - sorry the photo's a bit blurred but it's interesting all the same - you can see the damage to the leading edges of the tail and tailplane clearly. 4 Quote
BluBear Posted July 10, 2017 Posted July 10, 2017 Just a few from me and my Samsung Galaxy S7... Me and Jabo enjoying the sun and ale on the Friday: Berlin Express before she became a cabriolet: The beautiful dh 88 Comet: Count the Hurricanes!

1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted July 10, 2017 1. DDz Quorum Posted July 10, 2017 Short and sweet, some people should learn something from that... me thinks ... Quote
2. Administrators Jabo Posted July 10, 2017 Author 2. Administrators Posted July 10, 2017 Well, that's a good thing. That wingtip is a bit of a mess and I see various other dings as well, but it'll buff out. 1 Quote
2. Administrators Jabo Posted July 10, 2017 Author 2. Administrators Posted July 10, 2017 Actually, having looked more closely, I'm not convinced this is quite so good - firstly I'm not sure the engine is in line with the fuselage and there's a nasty crease in the fuselage just in front of the damaged wing and a corresponding crease in the doghouse on the same side - bent spar? Don't take this the wrong way, this is vastly preferable to some of the alternatives, but... Quote
wingflyr Posted July 10, 2017 Posted July 10, 2017 Excellent photos chaps very cool! Thanks for sharing. Quote
Sweper Posted July 10, 2017 Posted July 10, 2017 Thanks Chris, nice photos and film. Nice captured there Jabo. Quote

Yeah I reckon she's gonna be out of action for a good while mate, but it's not as if there's a shortage of Mustang spares. Quote
