HS's annual treat - airshow photos

[hairyspin]

Lucky old Kev, getting to Duxford this year. I was travelling when Flying Legends was on, so last weekend we hauled the tribe up to Edinburgh for East Fortune's annual bash again. :jump:

There were the regulars like a very noisy Typhoon:-

But what I was most pleased with was the RNHF's Swordfish who did fly close enough - and slow enough....

Nice pics! The ones of the Swordfish take the cake for me too.

Lucky man!

Are your sure it was really in England? ... It's not raining!!! :icon_lol:

[hairyspin]

Loic, old chap, Edinburgh is in Scotland. But it did rain, albeit briefly: nothing like last year's downpours...

A really nice set.

The Mustang "Janie" is based just a few miles from me and is part of the Hardwick Warbirds collection.


The owner and pilot is Maurice Hammond. He does on occasion come and play with us at our RC events.

This is his other Mustang "Marinell" that I got up close and personal to a couple of years back.
