Having most of the Fighter Collection's warbird fleet grounded pending resolution of outstanding paperwork issues ( all the way back to WW2 )
would mean for most people cancelling the show.

Stephen Grey and the TFC just worked harder than ever to provide another stunning warbrid show to entertain us .....

Let's start with The Horsemen !

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Curtiss P-40N ~ 42-105915 is owned by Christian Amara and based in France

Image

Frederic Akary brought his Hawker Fury 37514 over from France .....

Image

And I was very happy to see the Pink Lady make the journey across the Channel too :D

Image

Spitfire PR XIX has undergone a transformation ~ losing the contra rotating prop and PR blue paint scheme for this new look for 2009

Image

And lets not forget the Hawker Hurricane ~ this one belongs to the RAF Battle Of Britain Memorial Flight

Image

Where else in the world could you hope to see three more Hurricanes flying together

Image

Or how about THREE B-25's

Image

Image

The Flug Werk Fw.190 was a great bonus to the weekend

Image

And Finally ....... the Hawker Sea Fury T.20's from the USA was put through its paces by Steve Hinton and Stephen Grey

Image

We owe a huge debt to the owners, pilots, ground crew and planners who efforts made the weekend a wonderful show case for the warbird industry in Europe :drink3:

Great pics! Looks like beautiful weather to boot! Would love to see a 190 flying on this side of the pond (even if it is a pretend one!!!) :shock: :wink:

Hi,

These are my 'happy times' at DX this year to which I had a great time there, with friends and saw some 'fancy' flying' over the three days that we were there.
