Flying Legends 2005 pics from MOTF

Well another superb Flying Legends has been and gone. A very big thank you to all from TFC and IWM who helped organise another wonderful event.

A few quick pics from me, I haven’t finished sorting them yet. In no particular order



















You wish!

MOTF

As usual, excellent photos. Thanks for sharing them with us. What is the Swedish(?) aircraft in photo 14?

Do you know who the lucky chap is in VR930 Nick?
I hope to see the Fury again later this month.

Cracking fots, the Corsair/Raider/Fury is the pick for me.

That first one is an absolute belter.

Second and subsequent not at all bad, either.

Cracking!

Fantastic show, some really great aeroplanes - and good to see Sally B back where she belongs - the battle is far from over and from what I could hear of the PA, there's more info to come from Sean Maffett and G-KEST about how we can help keep her there, so keep your eyes and ears peeled!

FRADU,

I'm guessing that the lucky chap in the Sea Fury is MOTF himself.

Either that or the RN Historic pilot flying it this past weekend has lost weight and gained hair.

I take offense at that remark, I'm nowhere near that ugly.

FB11 I take it you havent met Dave Ratcliffe before then. Managed to bump into the RN Historic Pilot this weekend (briefly) and he has neither lost weight or gained hair. (no surprise there then)

Wow. I was going to post a couple of my (amateur) ones but they're in a different league to these beauties!

Thanks for posting them, it was a brilliant show (we were there on the Saturday).

Cheers, SSS
