vanandjuanunited Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Billed as a World War 1 air show but had a bit of everything from the Shuttleworth Collection plus a couple of guests. Despite the dodgy weather at the start it turned out well. Would definitely make a return visit if the dates matched up.

John B (Sc) Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 That's what I'd call a minimalist glider in the first shot. What is it? - a Dagling or an SG38? Maybe a Grasshopper? (I realise as I ask that I am not at all sure what the relationship, if any, between those machines was!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great event. You can walk around everything before the event and get up close to them all. Was a great variety but with the slight wind the more delicate stuff didn't participate. Would definitely go again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Masters Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 A few more indeed! That Sopwith Dove is a lovely little craft...Nice to see the Tutor and the Miles Hawk too...Thanks for the tour! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicarage Vee Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Lovely photos of a very enjoyable evening. Nice pictures of the Tutor which has long been a favourite for me. The Blackburn Monoplane's hedge-cutting landing approach was a bit heart-in-mouth mind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanandjuanunited Posted August 10, 2017 Author Share Posted August 10, 2017 There was definitely one that came through the top of the hedge- the gasps from the crowd were rather pronounced. Must have been a bum clenching moment for the pilot As I said a great event that I was in two minds about attending particularly with the weather when I arrived at BHX in the morning to travel down to Biggleswade. Wasnt entirely sure it would have been my cup of tea but so glad I went in the end. The light at the end was superb particularly for the Lysander and PO2. Would recommend it. A great event and super value for money at £18. No problems getting to and from the event either. All well organised and very civilised when it was over. Just a pity I had to drive for 2 hours afterwards to get to RIAT in preparation for the next day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Lovely photos. When I see pics like these I wish I had gone to these events. The PO 2 shots could be 'Bedcheck Charlie' in Korea (Pt.1... ) I could only go as far as page 7 but in page 4 or 5 there are Chipmunks captioned as the Miles Hawk !!! (Whadda misstaka to make ah!) I'll try and go back to view the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairly sure the rest are OK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
