Seven Triplanes and an SE-5

[xr6turbo1]

Here are the photos that have appeared recently in Aviation News.
For all of those Fokker fans out there I have included actual airframe history as well as history of the aircrafts colour scheme and pilot in the story so grab a copy if you are a keen fan of the magnificent WW1 machines.
Special thanks goes to the operators of these wondeful aircraft as well as my good friends who helped make these photos possible
Another magazine will run an extended feature on Jasta 11 in the future and it will feature more photos taken during these flights.
The angles are similar to show the coloufult schemes but there are a few neat action shots which follow some other time

WOW brilliant clear images.
those Blenheim hills were looking pretty dry again.

Beautiful photos Gavin!

Totally agree , lovely shots . Personally I really like the se-5 one , I think it may be all the extra rigging wires , not really sure , but it makes an awesome photo !

Awesome photos as usual Gavin. I too enjoyed the SE5 shot, those scenes could be anywhere in France. Marlborough has awesome scenery. Your logo looks pretty good on those photos too, makes them look like postcards

Thanks for the feedback.
The logo isnt supposed to have the white background on it but it has appeared on these photos.
Personally I dont really like logos on photos but its good as a bit of protection of images.

Hehe, I had a feeling it was Tim! I'll have to give him some s*** about that tomorrow. Great pic, I'd love to have a copy on my wall! You mentioned "action" shots...how long until we get to see them? Or are publications to come out with them before you can post?

Beagle, we're going through a bizarre patch of weather ATM - while the rest of the country is either under water or snow, we've had almost perfectly clear 0/8 weather all week and no sign of change! Blardy cold at night though!! The lack of rain does sure make for some purty scenery to fly over, and the clear weather means PERFECT flying conditions! I love this place!

The action shots will be kept for another time as I have a few plans for them so will have to leave it at that for a while.
It has been good weather all week but very windy.
A couple of us were going flying the other day but cancelled as the wind at 2000 ft was 50 knots and increasing and you cant have fun doing aeros in conditions like that.

Heres a nice break away shot

Love Lothar's aircraft! More please! ;-)
