Some WW1 shots from Classic Fighters (http://www.classicfighters.co.nz/)

Awesome show for me, first time I've seen WW1 birds in the air. I will have to see Wanaka Warbirds next time.

Photos below, WW1 only as there's so many photos. Maybe someone with a faster camera can post photos of the WW2 fighters.

Awesome!

I'm very jealous, I've never seen an Albatros in the air!

That must have been a fantastic show.

We're the tanks in working condition?

Great stuff. The composition of the fourth from the end is perfect. Very, very nice work!

That is a lot of WW1 era replicas! There are some serious WW1 aviation buffs hanging out in NZ. I wonder if most or all of those planes were built by the same outfit?

Fan-bleeding-tastic! Spotted a DH Dragon in the background. One small tongue in cheek comment. It looks like we are in danger of having more replica Dr1's flying than were ever seen on the Western Front.

Very nice photos! It looks like a great show, and I'm sure any ROF fans would love to have been there.

I'm not sure about the tanks I didn't see them move, but alot of the jeeps and other vehicles were moving. They had a V1 rocket and working trailer, tilted it up to the sky

Cool pics! Did they do anything with the wood chained to the tank? Were they just using it as a truck?
