A good day for a couple of the North Weald Gnats to go flying. The sun and clouds were both in the right place for once to give some dramatic light.
G-MOUR did a flight test. The wind was a bit gusty.
Later on, G-RORI did a coupe of flights and tested the smoke system

Really gorgeous shots mate.Those little jets made such an impression on me when I was younger.
There is no escaping those first impressions of the Reds,seen at Usworth near sunderland back in 1966..

Don't say something crass, to hide your envy. Just give credit, when its applicable...

Brilliant shots, lovely little jets, nice to see them in the air - I just about remember seeing them when I was a nipper.
Re: Friday Gnats at North Wealdi
Very nice to see. 4 and 6 are both excellent.

Might be Classic Airforce's Venom?

Re: Friday Gnats at North Weald
They're both owned by Classic Air Force AFAIK, but I think they're maintained by Weald Aviation?

Re: Friday Gnats at North Weald
Venom is indeed one of the Classic Air Force examples, with Weald Aviation for Maintenance!
