Shuttleworth American Air Display on the 4th of July!

Well its Independence Day but we wont hold that against our American cousins if it brings the sun out! It was good to see Old Warden bathed glorious weather after the last few cloudy displays

Even the Apprentice was happy

His view was nice though

One can carry an Italian Dictator, one cant!

The vehicle parade included old and new riders, I’ll leave you to guess who is the fittest, but the chap in yellow had just cycled from Milton Keynes to get there
Image

I know what a filed mouse sees just before the lights go out!
Image

A classic view
Image

On with the flying, beginning with the AvrosImage
Image

Image

Then the American aircraft joined in, I called it the Art Deco Airshow. And very good it was too.
Starting with the T6

Image

Who blew up the tyres?
Image

Image

The Rearwin Cloudster club of Great Britain joined in! (he came on his own as usual)
Image

Image

Its been a good few years since Sally B displayed at Shuttleworth.

Image

Then a superbly choreographed formation of Lysander, Gladiator and Hind.

Image

The display was closed by the Sabre
Image

Image

Finally, after the display had finished these guys came and said hello. They got a good round of applause and were most welcome. We all know what they are training for and out best wishes go with them.

Great stuff, don't think they come much cooler than the Lysander!

Thanks for posting these super shots.
