the 2nd Sunday show of the 2018 season featured the now regular 'Navy Day'. It started off cloudy but got better and better and by the evening when the Edwardians flew it was beautiful light. At the start of the display the light was rather harsh - only to be expected this time of year, and that wasn't ideal but didn't spoil an excellent show, plenty of nice topsides again, the pilots really can show off their aircraft to their best at this venue. One or two of the visiting aircraft didn't use the bend to it's full potential - maybe they were using a standard display suited to a straight display line with no bend? (some of the Duxford aircraft seemed to do that more). The WW.1s seemed to stay higher than normal, hopefully just wind related and back to normal next time - well done Shuttleworth!
here we go.....

the draught from the rotors on this one was so strong it swung all the lenses round to the right!

This was the one shot I wanted to get yesterday, practiced different angles on other aircraft for ages. Not quite perfect but I'm still happy with it - Royal Navy past and present (Swordfish & Merlin) plus the Navy pennant for a bit of colour!

and finally the Edwardians - never tire of seeing these fly, totally unique to Old Warden. (I seem to have re-sized them wrongly but hopefully it won't spoil them too much)..
