Seamus Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Evening all,After Cosby, I thought I'd share some images from my final three events of the year last month to round off what's been a largely enjoyable season. Firstly, a handful from a day on the fence at Yeovilton to catch the Sea Vixen performing for her supporters, with added Swordfish as a bonus.DeHavilland Sea Vixen FAW2 XP924/G-CVIX RNAS Yeovilton 12/09/15 by Shaun Schofield, on FlickrDeHavilland Sea Vixen FAW2 XP924/G-CVIX RNAS Yeovilton 12/09/15 by Shaun Schofield, on FlickrFairey Swordfish I W5856 RNHF RNAS Yeovilton 12/09/15 by Shaun Schofield, on FlickrDeHavilland Sea Vixen FAW2 XP924/G-CVIX RNAS Yeovilton 12/09/15 by Shaun Schofield, on FlickrDeHavilland Sea Vixen FAW2 XP924/G-CVIX RNAS Yeovilton 12/09/15 by Shaun Schofield, on FlickrDeHavilland Sea Vixen FAW2 XP924/G-CVIX RNAS Yeovilton 12/09/15 by Shaun Schofield, on FlickrFairey Swordfish I W5856 RNHF RNAS Yeovilton 12/09/15 by Shaun Schofield, on FlickrA few days later, I headed to Goodwood for the Battle of Britain day commemorations. An absolute nightmare of a day getting to the airfield and subsequently home, but one which was totally worth it for the sheer number of aircraft present and the significance of the occasion- one of those 'I was there' days.Supermarin Seafire XVII SX336/G-KASX Kennet Aviation Goodwood 15/09/15 by Shaun Schofield, on FlickrBattle of Britain Memorial Flight Goodwood 15/09/15 by Shaun Schofield, on FlickrHawker Hurricane XIIa AG244/G-CBOE Goodwood 15/09/15 by Shaun Schofield, on FlickrSupermarine Seafire LF III PP972/G-BUAR AIr Leasing Goodwood 15/09/15 by Shaun Schofield, on FlickrSupermarine Spitfire IX TD314/G-CGYJ Aero Legends Goodwood 15/09/15 by Shaun Schofield, on FlickrHawker Hurricane XIIa AG244/G-CBOE Goodwood 15/09/15 by Shaun Schofield, on FlickrSupermarine Spitfire I X4560/G-CGUK Commanche Fighters Goodwood 15/09/15 by Shaun Schofield, on FlickrSupermarine Spitfire LF Vb EP120/G-LFVB The Fighter Collection Goodwood 15/09/15 by Shaun Schofield, on FlickrSupermarine Spitfire LF IXe SL633/N633VS Historic Flying Limited Goodwood 15/09/15 by Shaun Schofield, on FlickrSupermarine Spitfire LF XVIe TD248/G-OXVI Spitfire Ltd Goodwood 15/09/15 by Shaun Schofield, on FlickrNorth American P-51D Mustang KH774/G-SHWN Norwegian Spitfire Foundation Goodwood 15/09/15 by Shaun Schofield, on FlickrThe following Sunday, it was up to Duxford for their own BoB anniversary airshow and the spectacular 17-ship Spitfire routine.

Max Headroom Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Some stunning shots. If I had to pick a favourite then it would be the BoB/Red Arrows combo. Trevor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phildagreek Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Very nice! That Sea Vixen sure is pretty. I'm going to have to get me one of them. Then it can sit on the shelf and on rainy days I can get it down and think, "ah yes, must build this one day, soon, eventually." Then it can go back on the shelf and me and the dog will go for a brew. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
