Flying Legends 2013: Tank Bank Saturday, a few from Friday

Post by umea4 »

Got to say I really enjoyed my time at Legends, with a bit of time pre-Legends on Friday too. Great to have some warmth in this country for a change, even if it meant that the 3.5 litres of water I took wasn't really enough. (Even the Manhattan Dolls said they'd sing for water!) Great to see a Mustang (Moonbeam McSwine) that I've not seen before, but they're all wonderful to see and photograph. Anyhow, here are a few pictures.

Lovely set, but the streaming Sea fury is a corker.

A cracking good set, I love the one of MH434 and the Corsiar/Fury taking off in the background - and the balbo with the crowd in foreground really captures the atmosphere.

Dear all - thanks so much for all the comments - greatly appreciated.

One more. Here's a pano stitched from 8 shots of three Mustangs lining up before taking part in the Balbo. It looks a bit small and thin here, but the original version is linked.

Original large version Please note - file size is >1MB if you've got a slow connection. (You'll need to scroll across it).

Cheers,

Excellent set Anthony.I must admit the coverage of Duxford and indeed Yeovilton has been first class.Got a feeling we might see you in POTW with that balbo shot
