Season opener at Old Warden

Morning all,

Kicked off the new airshow season yesterday at a blustery Old Warden, a very enjoyable start to the year despite the wind's best intentions and good to be out and about with the camera once more. Very pleased to see the PO2 on it's début, another vintage Russian aircraft with a great sound. The AN-2 put on a particularly impressive show too, one of only a handful of aircraft that enjoy that sort of wind I suspect!

As ever, it was great to meet up with Vince for a good old natter, as ever the temptation to refuse purchasing kits off him was too much :D

Here's a selection from the show, more can be found on my Flickr

Great stuff Shaun! :thumbsup:

Seeing your superb photograpy marks the beginning of summer as far as I'm concerned, thanks for taking the time to post these.

Lovely photos.

The Sabre ones are well timed as I got primer on the Airfix one last night and was wondering about panel colours.

Any idea what mark that is?

Thanks very much chaps :thumbsup:

Rich, it can't be summer just yet, it wasn't raining at the show yesterday! :D

Ian, this Sabre is an A model (clue is under the canopy ;), the only A in flying condition in the world, and as such the oldest airworthy jet too :)

Thanks again

Shaun :)

Yay! Airshow season again, and time for pic threads from Seamus!

You're getting to be quite a master at this game aren't you. Splendid work all round mate. Keep it up ;)

Lovely shots Shaun. I wish we had airworthy exxamples of some of those aircraft over here. Mind you we did steal a Canberra and Meteor from the UK which now fly from a field about 2 hours drive from here. It is great to see these old birds still flying
