Parabat Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Those are some superb pictures AD, very impressive work. Great pics of the Typhoon and Spitfire. Nice to see so many C-47's together. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bennygman Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Some nice pics there, especially good job on the Typhoon. I enjoyed today and thought the army careers display was very impressive. Particularly liked the massive sniper rifle and the scuba divers in their water tank. Not something you see every day! Only thing missing was a Warrior, unless I missed it. The jackal is an amazing looking thing. I'm glad I've seen it for real as I still had a slight suspicion that Airfix had made it up! I'll post some pics once I get the sunburn under control :-) Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Suds Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 I was there yesterday (Saturday). You were much luckier with the weather, however it did clear up for the afternoon and I managed to enjoy the show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that the Army display was good. I spent ages admiring the Husky and learned a lot about it from the RLC sergeant. Unfortunately, there was no Warrior on display, which is a shame as I'm just finishing the Airfix one. I was there yesterday (Saturday). You were much luckier with the weather, however it did clear up for the afternoon and I managed to enjoy the show. Hi Ian, yes the weather was very kind (despite the forecast!) Glad you got to enjoy the show anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The jackal is an amazing looking thing. I'm glad I've seen it for real as I still had a slight suspicion that Airfix had made it up! The reason for there being no Warrior or any other armour with the Army stands was that it was 16 Air Assault Brigade sponsored, which has no Armoured Infantry, only the two Light Infantry battalions of 2 and 3 PARA. 4 PARA (PARA Reserves) were there on the day though. I believe the JACKAL is replacing the RWMIK+ as the Fire Support and mobile protection platform in the future. Great displays on the day, so nice to see these professional pictures of a memorable day, as I was purely an observer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinxman Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 NIce shots - love the Dak formations. The weather was a little brutal on the Saturday though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Delta 210 Posted May 26, 2014 Author Share Posted May 26, 2014 Thanks, guys. It was pretty special to see that number of Skytrains/Dakotas lined up on the ground, let alone in the air! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rickpadwick1801 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Nice photos especially the B-17 and the typhoon. Do you have anymoree of the B-17, I am working on one and need to see how far the different colours go on the underside of the plane.

Alpha Delta 210 Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 Thanks, Rick. I must have hundreds of pictures of "Sally B" taken at various shows over the years! I will post a few of the underside taken on Sunday later today in this thread. I have a few pictures of the real "Memphis Belle" in a disassembled state taken in Memphis a few years ago before the National Museum of the US Air Force reclaimed her. I can post them in a new thread, if you're interested. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two weddings? Every man's idea of a perfect weekend! You missed a great show. Thanks, That would be great, I would love to see the real thing. Rick Hi Rick. Unfortunately, I only have these two that might be of use to you from Sunday's show. If you need any more, I will have a look at my shots from other shows.
