Parabat Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Some great shots AD, especially the overwing ones. You sure know how to shoot 'em. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimHead23 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Really fantastic pictures they really show the beauty off to her best advantage. It still seems weird seeing the Mk 1 guise. Thanks very much for those they are a real treat! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Cornes Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Great photos. I really hope that she never gets broken again - always been fond of the Mk 1 Simon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thevid Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Wow, beautiful photos of a great aircraft. Lovely work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeR Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Great pictures! I have a sneaking suspicion that as and when Airfix release a Mk 1F, L6739 will be one of the decal options. Mike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The weather wasn't as favourable today, but she still looked superb in formation with the two Spitfire 1as. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06/24 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 The Blenheim is booked for the East Fortune air show in July. I just wish the two Spits were coming too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a shame that the Spits won't be joining the Blenheim at East Fortune, as they make such a special formation. I'm sure that you'll enjoy seeing the Blenheim though.

tonyot Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 The Blenheim looks stunning and you`ve captured it really well but shouldn`t it have half black and half white painted undersides as a fighter, rather than all black? After the yellow outline anf fin flashes were added in 1940 the black and white then gave way to Sky undersides so the excuse that it was a `night fighter' cannot be used as in 1939 and early/mid 1940 their main task was `heavy fighter' and not night fighting. Wonderful pics though of a wonderful aircraft,.......just a bit dubious about the scheme! Cheers Tony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin W Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 You did very well. I was there 2 weeks ago and she was parked in a closed Hanger 3 and I had to peer through the crack in the door just see her. Mind you I did see 3 Mustang displays and 2 each for the Spitfire and Yak. Good to see the pilot getting plenty of practice, I never got to see the previous incarnation before the pilot used it to plough up the runway at Debden. Great Pics anyway and thanks for sharing.

Colin W Thanks Colin, I'm pleased you liked the pictures. I was chuffed to see her in flight three times on Friday and then again during the show on Saturday. At least you saw the Mustangs, Spitfire and Yak displays during your visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
