It's official - airshows are back - Old Warden 18-07-2020 (more added)

Post by andygolfer »

just one for now to prove that it's true, an excellent evening at Old Warden, very well organised and a nice selection of their own aircraft in the display....

Mid-July must be a record! You get my vote for a prize😃

I'd be interested to know more about what it was like as an experience. Would you let us know a bit more when you have a few mins.

Oh, and two good photos!

2 beautiful photos, a bit emotional to see these for me, purely for what they represent after such a tough time for all. Can't believe airshows are back for 2020, so happy! A few weeks back this did not feel possible. Well done Shuttleworth for thinking different and making this happen.

Wonderful to see this! Wonderful news to have airshows back! Wonderful pictures!

This year has been one of new and different records and this must be another one. The picture of the Tutor is sublime; POTW contender right there.

I can only echo UKTopgun, really well done Shuttleworth and to all involved in making this happen.

says it all really.....

I struggled with the light on this one so had a fiddle with a bit of sepia to see if it looked better that way

imagine this, ' right this morning you're going to learn to fly'
'but i've never flown before sir'
'well you'd better learn quickly because you'll be going solo'
that would be a test of the underwear if it were me!

as I said at the start, there are lots more in my flickr album, it was a bit dark at the end unfortunately but well done Shuttleworth for being brave enough to try it.
C&C welcome, thanks for looking
