Shuttleworth Fly Navy II


Seamus

Recommended Posts

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!

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 :)

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.
