Seamus Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Morning all, A selection of my images from a superb show at Old Warden that has already set the bar high for what promises to be one of the best seasons in recent years. Great to see the Camel finally fly, and the Puma was a treat, but those BBMF passes were the absolute highlight for me Avro Lancaster BI PA474 Royal Air Force Old Warden 06/05/18 by Shaun Schofield, on Flickr Supermarine Spitfire LF IXc MH434/G-ASJV Old Flying Machine Company Old Warden 06/05/18 by Shaun Schofield, on Flickr Westland Puma HC2 XW212 Royal Air Force Old Warden 06/05/18 by Shaun Schofield, on Flickr Sopwith Camel F.1 D1851/G-BZSC Shuttleworth Collection Old Warden 06/05/18 by Shaun Schofield, on Flickr Avro XIX Anson TX176/G-AHKX BAE Systems Old Warden 06/05/18 by Shaun Schofield, on Flickr Bristol Blenheim IF L6739/G-BPIV Aircraft Restoration Company Old Warden 06/05/18 by Shaun Schofield, on Flickr Hawker Sea Hurricane Ib Z7015/G-BTKH Shuttleworth Collection Old Warden 06/05/18 by Shaun Schofield, on Flickr Blackburn Monoplane Type D G-AANI Shuttleworth Collection Old Warden 06/05/18 by Shaun Schofield, on Flickr Supermarine Spitfire LF IXc MH434/G-ASJV Old Flying Machine Company Old Warden 06/05/18 by Shaun Schofield, on Flickr Avro XIX Anson TX176/G-AHKX BAE Systems Old Warden 06/05/18 by Shaun Schofield, on Flickr Supermarine Spitfire LF XVIe TE311 Royal Air Force Old Warden 06/05/18 by Shaun Schofield, on Flickr Avro Lancaster BI PA474 Royal Air Force Old Warden 06/05/18 by Shaun Schofield, on Flickr Westland Puma HC2 XW212 Royal Air Force Old Warden 06/05/18 by Shaun Schofield, on Flickr Avro 504K E3272/G-ADEV Shuttleworth Collection Old Warden 06/05/18 by Shaun Schofield, on Flickr Hawker Hurricane II P3717/G-HITT Hurricane Heritage Old Warden 06/05/18 by Shaun Schofield, on Flickr Bristol Blenheim IF L6739/G-BPIV Aircraft Restoration Company Old Warden 06/05/18 by Shaun Schofield, on Flickr Supermarine Spitfire Ia N3200/G-CFGJ Aircraft Restoration Company Old Warden 06/05/18 by Shaun Schofield, on Flickr Supermarine Spitfire LF IXc MH434/G-ASJV Old Flying Machine Company Old Warden 06/05/18 by Shaun Schofield, on Flickr Westland Puma HC2 XW212 Royal Air Force Old Warden 06/05/18 by Shaun Schofield, on Flickr Hawker Hurricane II P3717/G-HITT Hurricane Heritage Old Warden 06/05/18 by Shaun Schofield, on Flickr Avro Lancaster BI PA474 Royal Air Force Old Warden 06/05/18 by Shaun Schofield, on Flickr Bristol M1C C4918/G-BWJM Shuttleworth Collection Old Warden 06/05/18 by Shaun Schofield, on Flickr Royal Aircraft Factory SE5A F-904/G-EBIA Shuttleworth Collection Old Warden 06/05/18 by Shaun Schofield, on Flickr Sopwith Camel F.1 D1851/G-BZSC Shuttleworth Collection Old Warden 06/05/18 by Shaun Schofield, on Flickr Hawker Tomtit I K1786/G-AFTA Shuttleworth Collection Old Warden 06/05/18 by Shaun Schofield, on Flickr Avro Tutor K3215/G-AHSA Shuttleworth Collection Old Warden 06/05/18 by Shaun Schofield, on Flickr Eurofighter Typhoon FGR4 ZK318 Royal Air Force Old Warden 06/05/18 by Shaun Schofield, on Flickr Bristol Blenheim IF L6739/G-BPIV Aircraft Restoration Company Old Warden 06/05/18 by Shaun Schofield, on Flickr Westland Puma HC2 XW212 Royal Air Force Old Warden 06/05/18 by Shaun Schofield, on Flickr Bristol Boxkite G-ASPP Shuttleworth Collection Old Warden 06/05/18 by Shaun Schofield, on Flickr Thanks for looking, comments welcomed as ever Shaun 15 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latinbear Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Superb shots as always! Number 2 is an absolute peach. I don't think I've ever seen the Blenheim and the Hurricane together. What great weather for what looks like a really top notch show. Thanks for sharing these. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John R Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Some of your pictures look a lot like mine - especially the first one of the Lanc and the Bristol M1. You were not by any chance the guy standing a few yards away from me who let out a cry of 'Yesss!' when you realised it was actually going to give us a topside shot? I messed up the one of the Boxkite/Triplane crossover by focussing on the Triplane 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seamus Posted May 10, 2018 Author Share Posted May 10, 2018 Thanks all, glad they were of interest. 10 hours ago, John R said: Some of your pictures look a lot like mine - especially the first one of the Lanc and the Bristol M1.

I messed up the one of the Boxkite/Triplane crossover by focussing on the Triplane Quite possibly, it's exactly the sort of thing I'd do! I was positioned almost directly behind the Lysander, one row back from the front, but repositioned nearer to the first row of cars when I saw the Lanc approaching from behind. What a great pass it was too, a shot I've been after for years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John R Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 No, it wasn't you. I was in my preferred position, about three rows of cars back. It gives me a bit more height to see over the hordes on the flightline and saves being clobbered by those with long lenses when panning. Mnay years ago at Shoreham I thought I was going to get that shot but the positioning and bank angle meant that all I got was a side view.
