The Season starts here!

Buchon

The Pup on take off

And its recovery crew leaping into action

The Se5a back in the air after restoration

How does he do it???

We were treated to a very fine example of close formation flying by the DH51 and the Martlet

All in all a wonderful start to the season. Now if only we can sort out the ruddy weather!

Awesome pics!

Is he releasing the balloon and the guys go up and try to pop it?

Wow, if that's the case, it sounds like fun!!!! Just the opposite of the ole toilet paper roll stunt!

Wonderful shots of some of the most beautiful (and rare) aircraft out there! You must have a STEADY hand for those takeoff shots... the background motion blur is amazing!

He has just landed after the Barnstorming part of the display, as part of this they burst balloons with the prop. Apparently he "caught" one as well!
