This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

As always...need I say it....spectacular stuff....almost takes me back there.
How long before the Spit is airworthy again?

Wait, you said "V8 engines".. plural???.. Do you mean they actually got 2 TVR's running at the same time, in the same county???? God only knows what kind of Planet alignment that feat must have required...

Jesus H. cherry-picking Christ, you do have a talent, don't you!

Seriously Nick, those are easily among the finest shots I've ever had the privilege of seeing... the Spitfire with the moon and the clouds is just sublime. And I have to give a standing ovation to whomever decided to paint that Me 108 as a 6./JG 51 aircraft circa early August 1940... they really went whole hog on it, with the proper colors and scheme, and I have to say it looks pretty darned good.

Usually I hate seeing 108s made up as 109s, but this one gets extra points for the amount of effort that's clearly gone into it.
Nick, you are THE MAN. Will any of these be available for desktop use at any point?

Thanks again for another great set of pics. I'm kind of ignorant (no comment from the peanut gallery) about all the bi-planes out there. What is the bi-plane with the red, yellow and blue streamers attached to it?

Thanks for the comments

I am not planning to re-edit them specifically but if you can use them as is then be my guest.

Its a Royal Aircraft Factory SE5a. Its an original (new broom rules permitting).

Thanks Nick. Its a great looking plane they have. BTW, loved the photo of the Spit framed on the moon in the backdrop.

Beautiful, beautiful shots. Takes me back 18 years to The Great British Picnic held at Old Warden on a flying day in 1992. Hundreds of classic cars all lined up along the grass runway, we were center stage in our GT6 with The Triumph Sports Six Club, sitting on an old blanket, leaning back against the 6 watching the flying display. That day still ranks right up there in my memory as one of my favourite days out.
Thanks for sharing.
