Civilian Aviation

just one for now to prove that it's true, an excellent evening at Old Warden, very well organised and a nice selection of their own aircraft in the display....

Wonderful to see airshow photos being posted again. It seems nobody has anything negative to say about the event, which is fantastic. Well done Shuttleworth.

Lovely shots Andy, looking forward to seeing some more.

all edited (in between preparing ingredients for a paella later - I know how to multi-task when it matters!) so for the benefit of Mike and all here are a selection and there are lots more in my flickr album ( https://www.flickr.com/photos/125470545 ... 5150024163 )

says it all really.....

imagine this, ' right this morning you're going to learn to fly'
'but i've never flown before sir'
'well you'd better learn quickly because you'll be going solo'
that would be a test of the underwear if it were me!

as I said at the start, there are lots more in my flickr album, it was a bit dark at the end unfortunately but well done Shuttleworth for being brave enough to try it.
C&C welcome, thanks for looking
Andy

Lovely shots Andy and a big well done to Shuttleworth for managing to put on an event.

Cracking shots you certainly had a great day.
Love the upper wing shots.
I am drawn to the first glider shot, it just looks weird.
cheers Andy,


Pete.
