Indeed legends each of them. Wonderful shots of a by gone era that I lived vicariously through my grandfather who was a WWII pilot/instructor for the Army Air Corps(Air Force). Thank you for sharing!

Nice shots, shame the skies weren't so good today though.

I almost commented before, wanting to see a P-40 Curtis. You met that obligation and I didn't even have to ask. Splendid! (Any P-38 Lightnings? tee hee) :D

Sorry, I'd forgot about that rule. Think i got carried away with trying to give an impression of what the show was like in so few shots.

Thanks for the comments everyone.

Is that a RR Merlin in the ME-109 shot - the nose somehow looks different ? :)

Yes you are quite right, it does have a Merlin engine. It is actually a Buchon rather than an ME109, have a look here.

Although it isn't really a ME109, it looks close enough to play the part of the 'enemy' at airshows and several films.

Thanks for the comments.

Thanks Frank, and Ramrod for the answer to my query on the RRMerlin engine ! :D
