Centenary of Serpentine Air Race.

Post by GeorgeP »

Another twice-postponed event was held during mid-March to celebrate the centenary of the Serpentine Air Race. It was held on a farmer's field, SE of Serpentine (Victoria) and attracted about a dozen DH-82s, all of which competed in the re-enactment of the air race. The race was restricted to Tiger Moths but quite a few vintage and antique types attended. All taken with My Canon 5D Mk IV / 100-400L Mk II or Canon 6D Mk I / 24-105L Mk II. Thanks for viewing!

I add the image below as matter of record. An excellent display of firefighting was flown by the very experienced pilot of this aircraft; 18,000 hours of Ag time in his logbook, 10,000 of which was on Air Tractors. Wot?!
