Spent a thoroughly enjoyable day at Old Warden at the weekend. My first visit for a number of years, I had forgotten what a great venue it is. The standard of flying was top notch throughout, with the Sopwith Triplane and P-40 being my personal favourites. The former was really thrown around with some gusto! Struggled with getting the exposure right for much of the day, and have once again had to bin far too many shots, but here's a few keepers. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Was also good to have a good old natter with Vince, and also make the obligatory yet unnecessary additions to the stash :lol: See you at Biggn ![]() Thanks for looking, any feedback welcomed Cheers Shaun

Great idea, I would suggest a Saturday when there's an evening display on. Travel up late morning, wander round during the afternoon, picnic tea then watch the display in the evening. For anybody not interested in the museum there is always Shuttleworth House, the Swiss Garden and Birds of Prey Centre. The latter is excellent. About as perfect a day as you can possibly get. Sometimes the odd trader might be found purveying plastic kits! peebeep |

Jets have been known to put in an appearance at Old Warden, but really, on a grass field it's heresy. peebeep |

Thanks very much fellas Sean, no jets at this show, though the Sabre usually displays at some shows each year. I believe Jet Provosts are also fairly common at Old Warden, and in days gone by Harriers have displayed, flying out of the aerodrome itself! Would love to have caught that on camera In truth though, Old Warden is all about piston power, and there isn't a venue quite like it for showing off these magnificent aircraft to their fullest.An L&C meet up at one of these shows is a great shout, I'd definitely be up for that, especially as I have never attended one of their evening shows ![]() Been editing a few more this evening so will post a few more up when I get the chance Cheers Shaun

An evening display is a must-do thing for true blue vintage enthusiasts. It is the best chance to see 'Those Magnificent Flying Machines' in action. Also it has become a tradition to start proceedings with a parade of the collection's vintage vehicles. A taster: ![]() peebeep |

Nice shot Paul, I rarely get the chance to see the Edwardians as the weather is rarely suitable for them to fly, but they're such an interesting machines I'd love the chance to photograph them. Here's a few more shots from Sunday that took my eye. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Thanks for looking, all these and more can be found on my Flickr page Cheers Shaun

Happy memories - my only regret is that I didn't visit enough when I lived 20 minutes up the A1. Re jets being heresy - I remember taking the family once when the children were rather young. I said "It won't be very noisy", and what was the first display? A Tornado! Bang goes Dad's credibility! |

Cheers chaps There seems to be a fair bit of interest in an Old Warden meet up, so here's a list of dates for the remaining evening shows (can post the main airshow dates as well if needed) Evening Air Display and LAA Part in the Park- 19/06/10 Mid Summer Evening Display- 17/07/10 Battle of Britain Evening Airshow- 14/08/10 Sunset Air Display- Meet the Pilots- 25/09/10 Personally can't make either of the first two, but the BoB show could be fun and going by the reaction to last years Meet the Pilots evening show, it was very popular. Discuss

I think we are at Yeovilton, Jens in charge of that for us. As for Seamus and RIAT will just bring some "shiny things" as they say. |

In truth though, Old Warden is all about piston power, and there isn't a venue quite like it for showing off these magnificent aircraft to their fullest.
