Woburn Moth Rally pics - part 1

[DamienB]

A big :ok: to Vintage ATCO for the invite to this one.

Cracking place for photos, this - and a bit of a nail biter watching some of the landings/attempts at landing! Much respect to the pilots for getting in and out safely (glossing over the Tiger Moth - pole argument!).

And congrats to Hairyplane for his first formation display, which isn't pictured here I'm afraid as this is but batch 1 of photos. Batch 2 to follow later this week.

Excellent pics as per usual Damien. Made it to the Rally despite the wedding on Saturday then :ok:

There seem to be a lot of non-Moth types there (quite a few Chippies) this year, even a few non-de Havilland types: HP's Maggy, the side by side shiny bipe that I can't remember the name of (Blackburn....?) and was the D-reg bipe a Focke Wulf Steiglitz? I suppose that, with the exception of the latter, thay are all dH Gipsy powered. :ok:

Good to see the Neville's Jackaroo was there.

Cracking pics again!

Blackburn B-2 and the German is a Steiglitz - like the shot of the parachutist exiting the Jackaroo! And the comment...

The wedding is this Saturday coming up LowNSlow! More Moths in part two and less honourary Moths...

[Shaggy Sheep Driver]

Cracking pics as usual, Damian B. Did you get me coming in in Chippy SL on Saturday morning? Or the most unusual 'honorary Moth' - the Saunders Roe Skeeter helicopter (Gipsy Major engine, fuel injected to give 220 BHP instead of the standard 145 BHP - must see if we can get one of those for for dear old SL ;~)

Well done to all who worked hard to organise this event, including Vintage ATCO and the Woburn Wireless team.

Afraid I wasn't there on Saturday SSD... didn't see the Skeeter either so I presume it departed Saturday afternoon?
