Very nice selection well photographed

Apologies I need to withdraw from the competition

Some imaginative takes on the topic (with special mention of Professor M with "a few bonus wings") and the chicken wing platter did bring a smile. I liked George P's 3 examples of folding wings but my winner is MikeH with all 5 examples -Spitfire/Boxkite/Vulcan/Tornado/U2 embracing the top...

Well one for your imagination-your pics where the wings are an important element of the pic-my examples- https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53343106483_958f0380ee_h.jpg 2023 Kleine Brogel USAF Lockheed F-35A 20-5617 by Peter Fenwick , on Flickr https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50959030467_b43587...

Sean, many thanks and some real gems in this post.

I will check Derek's invaluable list and have a think for a new topic

Very lucky to see these original WWII aircraft fly and sadly many years since they have last flown https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54355988084_5a31e7a882_h.jpg Paine Field Focke-Wulf Fw-190 A-5 and Ilyushin IL-2M3 Sturmovik by Peter Fenwick , on Flickr A one off unique mixed bag https://live.sta...

Great response and some fantastic pairs. This is of course a personal choice but special mention of- Col Chibani-the 2 TBM Avengers Tommy-the 2 B1's at night Dean-the 2 Taiwan F5's-needing a very careful look But my choice winner is Mike H-the 2 Austrian Drakens (and 2 F117's and 2 Jaguars). Over to...

Blimey great job young man

Thanks Mike. Checked back into 2023 and can't see any topic "pairs" for the same aircraft (at least not for a good while. As I like pair shots (making a change from the standard solo warbird or fast jet) lets see yours https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50262845281_78d8f80248_h.jpg 2015 L...

I have been to this Airshow several times, the last time in 2023. In my experience the security teams (generally just ordinary US Marines) are strict about the no camera bags/rucsacs. I purchased a clear bag ( shoulder beach bag) here in the UK and no problem with that and carrying 2 camera bodies a...

George, Thanks for posting and light looks great. The Dragonfly is my personal favourite-a rare beast

Tommy, what's happening in AFM to the Showbiz articles? Not been any in the last 2 AFM and they are missed (and particularly part 2 of the RIAT article)

For those interested in historic aviation the discussion between Richard Grace and Kermit Weeks on the Tempest wings and restoration issues is fascinating. Well worth watching

Can't wait for the Sywell June weekend

Well it's frightening how many aircraft types have been retired in the last 14 years and to limit the choice I have just chosen from US Armed forces aircraft. Retired fully in 2015 (several were kept for 6 years in VX-20 as test aircraft https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53474490190_8aff5565af_h.j...
