Battle of Arnhem commemoration 2010 [Warning: Pictures]

So, I went to the yearly commemoration of the Battle of Arnhem. Thought I'd share some of the pictures I shot:

The day started with about 700 paratroopers jumping from C130's, in groups of 20 or 30:

I guess this is what the Ginkel Heath must have looked like 66 years ago:

Lots of old vehicles present:

Later today there was an airshow featuring mainly old planes, first off the Boeing-Stearman N2S-3:

Next a few other good ones, including a Yak-3U, a Spitfire and a Mustang, all of which I unfortunately enough have not been able to photograph

But then came the highlight of the show: the B-17 "Sally B". What a sight, to have such a monster fly directly overhead
