Just a few pics from the recent Wings over Wairarapa: (that's in New Zealand by the way)

The show featured a large number of WW1 aircraft:
F2B Bristol fighter (original, 1 of only 2 in the world)
Sopwith Camel (replica with original engine)
Sopwith Triplane in colours of Raymond Collishaw's "Black Maria"
3 x SE5A replicas (exact replicas built locally by The Vintage Aviator Co.)
3 x Fokker DR1 replicas (don't know anything about these)
Fokker D7 replica
Pfalz D3 replica
Nieuport (baby I think?)
Unfortunately, because of strong winds a planned flying display by all these aircraft didn't take place, only saw the D7, Pfalz and Neiuport in action.

also spotted this RE8 in the corner of a hanger


The last remaining RNZAF Corsair (in US colours) out of around 500 in service in WW2

Numerous WW2 vets were present, including a kiwi test pilot who flew the Corsair and recommended (among other things)the bubble canopy.

Hope this works, have not posted images before.
Sorry about photo quality, only have a very old digital camera.

You've probably peaked sexually...does that mean you've given up?"

Scylla's beautiful reply.

You're an ignorant broken record, incapable of rational discussion on the topic.
Oh the irony of it all biggrin
