Screechy at Old Warden July 2015

[Screechy]

Old Warden was well worth the sell out crowd despite the late wind that curtailed the show a little early. Didn't bump into the usual suspects this time as they were either on probation with their wives or elsewhere as I took a sitting brief for once at this location rather than roving around. Happy with the results, best photographic day of the year so far. I'm sure these will be covered far better by others but here's my stab at the Shuttleworth Military air Pageant 2015..

1. Didn't expect this fella

2. The big Bristols arrive..

3. and the Pitts departs in sporty fashion

4. The Hind goes up for a practice

5. If anything it was a little too close at times.. could have done with a couple more passes but fair play, it was good

6. Peter Teichman arrives in style

7. and puts down

8. BBMF Spit.. short but sweet

9. The Gladiator throbs past with another topside

10. Up go the Aerostars

11. Sea Hurricane, gorgeous as ever, takes off

12. A very welcome return to the Seafire as it takes to the skies

13. Sea Hurricane + Sunshine, always a good combo

14. Seafire looking like a painting!

15. Good to see the Blenhiem in some sunshine

16. Mr Romain knows how to display the Blenheim

17. The greenhouse

18. Nice way to close the show


Cheers for looking and see you at Legends

Nice set, best shot of the poppy drop I've seen.....so far

[Tbolt]

Great set, yes good job on the poppy drop, with the wind direction I didn't expect him to drop them that early.

[Private Custard]

A lovely set of shots. And I agree with the poppy comments, nicely done

Very good set. Must have been very close to me looking at that pic of the Scout arriving.

Cheers, well if you look like your Avatar then I certainly didn't see you standing near me Would be interesting to put faces to many of the names on these forums... i'd expect I would recognize many of them... 'oh blimey.. so that's ..xxxx' etc etc

[Airwolfhound]

Many years ago a UKAR meet was organised for RIAT so we had the opportunity to put names and faces together - my daughter took a photo which I posted and someone kindly annotated the names to it. I rather doubt that there's many of that group left on the board now, but if anyone's interested in trying to arrange it again, do say so.

PS Great set by the way

[Screechy]

We should just start a thread somewhere where you post your photo, your real name and your UKAR alias.. would be quite an eye opener!

[aviationphoto]

Another top quality set, agree re poppy drop, nice capture

[Hatstand]

Very nice, well done!

PS. I have met and chatted with several UKAR posters at airshows, because I am easily spotted - not because my face is known... rather, because I'm the one with a "toy" camera, holding it all wrong, and a red dot sight stuck on top of it LOL :-D
