Seamus Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Evening all, Thought I'd share some images from another terrific installment of Fly Navy. Last year's line up and weather was always going to be tough to beat, but in spite of the tricky conditions, the standard of flying was absolutely first rate, particularly from the Nimrods, Wildcat, Fury and surprisingly the Catalina. I could have watched them all day long!

Seamus Posted June 6, 2017 Author Share Posted June 6, 2017 Thanks all, glad you enjoyed them. 1 hour ago, Paul J said: Which Hurricane is that with the RAF Spitfire??? The Hurricane is BBMF's LF363. Both she and P7350 have received new schemes in the last week or so, with different codes on each side depicting the mount of surviving BoB veterans. A nice touch I think 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triumphfan Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Lovely pics, thanks for posting. It was a very enjoyable day and how respectful of the rain to hold off until 5 mins before the end. I don't think the Lysander pilot wanted to land! We thought he was keeping her in the air for a bath, lol. Atb, Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
