Nice 109 there, are visitors usually allowed to get that close, or was it a special deal on behalf of the modellers group (which I presume is who you went with?).

No special deal, no modellers group, just a mate and me....and a few tall tales of a father who was a wartime pilot to the people that lifted barriers

Goering carrier!! (Ju-52)

Nice V1 launch ramp there, I presume they have a V2 there as well?

I like how they've arranged the gun on the Brick/Rhino and the 'pilot' on the Hurri.

Nope, never saw a V2.

Have you seen this:

This was Saturday, my mate and I nearly went up in her for £39 on Wednesday

Eep, thank God for prompt fire services! The Rapide is a lovely craft and it would have been a shame to have lost one.

Lovely shots, Jim. I've seen a lot of those aircraft fly in the '80s and it's making me kind of sad that the current airshow season has just ended - not that there are many nowadays.

Swing by on your way to IWM/Hendon next time, won't you!

I nearly went up in a Harvard too but must admit to bottling it in the end...not comfy sitting on a parachute.

Is that a Vosper?

Jimbuna · 09-10-12, 09:28 AM

The American Hangar was a bit tricky to photograph in because of the practically non existent interior lighting and the fact the whole hangar entrance was clear glass coupled with extremely sunny conditions outside.

I initially started photographing in 'forced flash' mode but the results weren't all that good so eventually settled for 'automatic' mode.
