Mil Old Timer Hardware Still Flying

Mr & Mrs Coff spent a glorious day at Goodwood Revival yesterday in West Sussex. In addition to the classic cars and motorcycles there was the usual display of airworthy vintage aircraft ... many of a Military pedigree.

For those members interested ... here are a few pics I took




1957 Beech W18S : Utility twin that saw duty in WWII and used by the US Army until 1976.



1952 Max Holste MH-1521 Broussard : Six-seat monoplane used by the French Mil until 1983. A bit like a de Havilland Beaver on steroids.



1939 Gloster Gladiator Mk 2 : The last fighter biplane to see active service with the RAF.



1942 Stinson Gullwing V-77 : Gullwings were used by the US Army during WWII as a utility aircraft.

If I may ... I'll sneak in a couple of personal favourites.



1947 Stampe SV4C : The C version was licence built in France and Algeria.



1954 Beechcraft BE50 Twin Bonanza : Five-seat passenger executive aircraft.



I have a few other pics which I'll post if anyone is interested

For Ground-bound Petrol-heads ... here is a link to car and motorcycle pics. The Two Lanc flypast yesterday was brilliant.
