Eslöv Airshow 5 June 2011

[NordicAirpower]

Also went to the small airshow at Eslöv airfield located between Malmö and Helsingborg in southern Sweden, mainly because of the good weather and the chance to make some nice pics of Flygvapnet warbirds. There were also loads of small civil stuff

Note that the Spitfire is operated in honour of Bertil Gerhardt, who sadly was killed last year in a crash with Biltema's other Spitfire.
