I didn't even attempt any airborne shots, but I'd like to offer static ones for the collective consideration of the group:     Sam offered to take the photo, who was I to refuse?   My last view of her was above, Warren Denholm towing her back to the hangar on Sunday morning. What a show. I have no words. |

Hi all,
For those interested, I have posted two videos on YouTube.
The first is a 6 minute video of the Mosquito and includes an extract of WWII veteran John Beeching talking at the Subrizky's.
The second is a video of the first part of John Beeching's talk, he was a very entertaining speaker.
Enjoy
Trassy

Did you both realise you were both driving British antiques, or was this news? ;D Didn't realise the 2011/12 Holden Commodore was considered a British antique James...................or are you alluding to something beginning with A..... ;D Well I knew the Commode was a bit retro in its technology, but parking in the 'old British oil spreaders' park is a bit of a cheek! I know not of the thing beginning with A of which we don't speak. (Speaking as an Ex-MGB owner...  ) |

Not a De Havilland but a smart looking machine all the same?  Prime lenses are a challenge when the subject gets close?  Cheers |

I'm surprised no-one has mentioned anything about this pairs display - Briefly seen shortly before the last Mossie display. I cant recognise the type, but the formation work was good. They didnt seem to heed the appropriate display line boundaries though!  |

Great shots Colin and Chris!
And additional to Bruce's neat Grumman Duck pair, I noticed there was a small number of brown birds - not sure of the species - that either were living in or grazing in the grass runway. Every time something took off they flew up, to a maximum of 20 feet, then settled back down into the grass. I admired their persistance.
