This Vampire taxied off...


backtracked...


But only the camo one, the Hunters and the Fouga Magister took off...


Vampire gear retracting


















...it returned, not under it's own power










Why is it when doing a sequence of panning shots, the sharp one always has some part of the plane out of the frame?
















Rover 220GTi (very rare, especially over here). Went to the British Car Meeting today, can post the pics from that soon too if anyone's interested?

Very nice Toby...you can bore me anytime

The 'Swiss' An-2 is Latvian registered...are they type certified in Switzerland???. Can't think off hand of any Swiss registered An.2s

FOCA/BAZL says, no there aren't!

Hi Toby,

Great photo's and like Garry said ..you can bore me anytime.

Thanks for posting them.

Roger.

Thanks

Difficult to search, most are PZL-Mielec ...forget the number.

In the UK there are Hungarian and Lithuanian ones about and German registered turn up. The type might be un certifiable in developed countries without so many restrictions it would become unusable.

Can never get bored of Hunter pictures!

Great set as always Toby, keep 'em coming.

G'day Toby
Boring, no, sir!
Intrigued by the National marking under the port wing of 4015; any idea what that's about?

I think it's a "merge" of the Swiss Air Force roundel and the 15 Sqn logo (15 Sqn were based at this airfield with Venoms and later Hunters until 1993)

I see what you mean, Toby.
You learn something every day here.

I like the newspaper plane
