After a lot of planning, a few attempts and a bit of luck with the weather we got these three aircraft photographed yesterday.
made the call at 5.00am yesterday to have a go and although the sun came and went, the aircraft looked great.
The Yak 55 is a real performer and would be a lot of fun.
I had a few minutes to have a quick look around Wigram and it is quite sad that flying will no longer be a possibility soon.
The hangars are in good condition and it will be a shame if they are all pulled down.
Many of us have some great memories from that place and its a big loss and not sure where all of the aircraft will go.
Apart from that a great day with a great group of people.
Rob Neil from Pacific Wings came along as well and you can see him at work below.
Have heaps to sort through as I compensated a lot during the flight for good and bad light and am starting to find some nice ones.
