This was my 3rd visit this season and again it was an excellent day out - good weather and some superb displays rounded off by two of their Edwardians flying in the evening as the wind kindly dropped - I've put the Edwardians in a separate topic as I decided they were worthy of it and it helps keep the topic size down a bit.
the show opened with Mustang 'miss Velma' which was then joined by the B.17 'Sally B' for some joint flypasts, not bad for starters..

that was eclipsed by the sight of 3 Hurricanes flying together, only problem was I was too close and struggled to get all 3 in one shot even at 150mm:mad (one did seem to be a bit loose from the other 2 though):

the Beaver and Scout did a nice spot, the scout in particular. Unfortunately the Beaver parked in front of me so I ended up with a face full of Beaver for the first half of the day they checked the flaps carefully before they took off:

Lovely pics as usual. Looks like another great show. Would've loved to have been there to see the 3 Hurricanes up together, hopefully I'll get a chance before the end of the season. And I'd have liked to have seen that Beaver too, it's evaded me over the years.
Cheers,
Oz
