If I was in World War Two they'd call me

I was at Yorkshire Air Museum on Saturday, heard a bit of rumbling while I was in a hangar, walked outside to see a Spitfire lumber past overhead, before banking round and doing an extremely past pass. Sounded absolutely incredible! Gotta love the retro planes.

had the privilage of seeing all 3 fly over newark car show some years ago.

cool pics AK they flew over my workshop at the weekend as well we heard them but they were to far away by the time we got outside and clocked them

Nice shots Alastair. Here's one I've taken of a Lancaster. Would have been a nicer shot on a blue sky day though

photoshop the sky blue, thats what its for.

Cant you tell its actually an Englishman who has knocked out a German Officer and is trying to escape the POW camp, hence why the uniform doesnt fit ;D



(really need to stop watching old british war films )

where we had our old workshop in Brightwell cum Sotwell there a guy who often flys a Hurricane around right overhead,
he owns the plane and has a field right next to the yard so we'd get free ringside seats to watch it take off, whizz around (mostly upside down it seemed !!) and then come into land,
one day last year it appeared with a spitfire alongside and we were treated to half hour of these two noisy buggers performing their very own battle of britain - right above our heads ..... fantastic stuff

So true ;D ;D
The only one that got me more exited was the Vulcan at Farnborough air show, a low pass along the runway then a near vertical climb on full chat, oooo yes baby LOL
Then again the hairs on the back of my neck always stand to atttention when the Harrier does its bow at the end of its bit

Yes! Saw the Vulcan at Finningley when I was a kid. It was the first time I'd felt that feeling that only a machine generating immense power can give. The memory of it going into a vertical climb and making me feel like the earth was going to shatter below my feet will never leave me.

Engines are cool.
