Photoflying Days 2012, Belgium 15 -19 august

Post by Aviation PhotoCrew »

hello UKAR friends,

I would like to introduce you to the brand new website of the Photoflying Days. As the UK will have very few airshows in the period of the Olympics, this event might be of interest to you, as it's not an airshow...but all about photography!!

We focus on the historic side of aviation, and as we celebarte our little 3rd anniversary we have quiet a line up this year.

Headline will be the inconic Breitling Super Constellation, a first visit of a Super Connie to Belgium in 37 years!
And a lot of classics like the Avenger, Corsair, Mustang, Spitfire, Skyraider, DC-3, Catalina, S-38 etc

And for the spotterfriends, we have set up on friday and saturday evening 'blue hour' and nightshoots with most of the warbirds, also with historic re enactors.

All information is available at www.photoflyingdays.com :wink:


hope to see you in august, Eric

for all the UK aviation enthousiasts who are very fond of events like Duxford, Hahnweide or La Ferté Alais;

an update in what our line up will look like:

- the Breitling Super Constellation is still scheduled to be with us, as one of the very few visits outside Switzerland in 2012. If all goes well she should fly again in the first week of august, making her definately thé big star of the event.
- other big historic aircraft include the Sikorsky S-38 'Osa's Ark ( with a lot more than just two flypasts ), the Catalina and DC-3.
- the fighterbird line up will certainly please you : hopefully the premiere of the 'Bagdad' Fury, P-51 Mustang, Spitfire, Hawker Hurricane, P-38 Lightning, Grumman Avenger ( in RAF colours ), Grumman Avenger ( in new US markings ), Skyraider.

And of course a few more surprises in the pipeline ;)
The Belgian airfield of Malle is located in a protected nature parc, so lots of green surroundings and no hangars or any other building: so great if you like photography. Everybody welcome :wink: !

greetz, Eric
