First act confirmed - the Ultimate Fighters with the Thunderbolt, Mustang, Buchón and Spitfire Mk.V.

Great start for what was one of Europe's best airshows last year.

Goodwood Revival, and the new Quax event in Germany too.

I suspect I'll still end up at Melun though, a cracking event the last couple of years,

And a long time ago, then.
I can't remember a Blenheim at la Ferté in the last 25 years.

1998 ... now I remember. I was abroad at this time of the year and it's the one and only Ferté that I missed since 1990 or so.
That's why I couldn't remember seeing her.
I first saw her in the UK during the 1996 Spitfire Diamond Jubilee, I think. Another set of pics I have to scan & share, but I don't have it here now. It will be for the next confinment !
