Corsair at the Wgtn Aero Club Open Day 4Apr09

[mumbles]

The Old Stick and Rudder Company Corsair attended the Wellington Aero Club Open Day today. Its quite rare for a Warbird to be on the ground at WGN (in fact I can't remember any other visits), and it was nice not to have to travel to see it for once!

Been experimenting with Black and White lately in case you are wondering...

Arrival was announced by a pass down the runway centreline before landing





And some departure shots








Cheers to both the Wellington Aero Club and Old Stick and Rudder Company for organising the visit

Well done mate, primo shots. Hope they Have the Corsair up with the P40's for a "Pacific theatre" flypast, shame we have no airworthy Avengers left in the country to complete the trio....well actually we'd need a Dauntless as well to make the picture complete. Someone should chat to Kermit Weeks about getting some of his aircraft down ala Old Flying Machine Company style when they shipped the 109/Buchon down-under for Wanaka many moons ago.
