Civilian Aviation

Sunday saw the start of another airshow season at Old Warden, unfortunately a dull day sandwiched between sunny days on the Saturday and Monday. It was still enjoyable and I spent far more time watching aircraft with the naked eye rather than through a camera lens than I normally do. I still got a good selection of photos and here are some of them.....

Just watching is no bad thing at all, and easy to forget to do, so perhaps the overcast was a blessing in disguise.

Very nice indeed; I particularly like the Lysander and the Anson but I have to say the aerial shots were skillfully taken.
Thanks for sharing them
