What?

Yup, the Airworthyness ticket is being taken away, the company who own it no longer think it is safe to fly / maintain. This has been its farewell tour.

I figured it had to happen sooner or later. Cost goes up, insurance goes up etc, etc......

Aye that's why I got my arse into gear to go & see her perform, fortunately I booked well ahead this time (I usually wait until the day to see what the weathers like) as tickets soon sold out.

The Vulcan gave an impressive show, Old Warden's a small airfield so the display had to keep slow & bank real sharply... lots of power & lots of noise!

Still sorting my pic's out, another highlights was seeing the freshly restored Bristol Blenheim

Another nice pic, Ed. If you have a look through my FB crap one of the mobs I follow did the restoration of the Mossie. Also a photographer who does all the air shows in NZ, Strikemasters and Vampires etc. Including aerial shots. Just stunning stuff but your shots are just as good IMHO.

Martin Withers of Black Buck fame was in the second pilots seat

I believe he was Paul.
Here's the info on the recent V-Force tour:

Your most kind Mark, the camera does the hard work.. I simply point the thing. I bet your pic's are way better than you make out, I take a nosey.

Storch v Gladiator, recreating the sort of battle they would of had in the early desert conflict, the Storch was simply too nimble for (the faster) Gladiator to get a bead on:

Sea-fire & Sea Hurricane:

Spitfire PR XI (?)

Avro Anson

Lovely photos Ed

Mark would love to see the photos of the Strikemaster

Nah Ed, it takes something special to know where to point it.

Paul, I'll do an Airshow photo dump soon. I haven't posted any in about 3 years because I've been to so many its daunting. I went to some museams in NZ too, including a toy museum, and I really should put em up for you guys to enjoy.

As for the blunty, the pics are on the companies facebook page. I'll see if I can link them here.

Here you go, Paul. This should give you some ideas.
