Thanks for posting the link to the pictures. It's nice to see events that are going on out your way. There are some nice airplanes that we don't often get to see.

I love that Sea Fury, she's a beauty.

There was a replica WWI airplane that I couldn't figure out what it was. It kind of looked like an SE5a with swept-back wings. What was that airplane?

Peace,

David M

Scale replica SE5a.

Looks like the authentic Great War list was down again this year, compared to previous, but a good show nonetheless.

Cheers,

James I think that one is a Stampe modified to look like an SE-5.

Great photos, I went to that show several times in the early 2000s and always tell people it's one of the 5 best airshows I've ever been to. Thanks for the link Xav, I always wondered what FAFG stood for...

If we're all talking about F-AZCY, you're quite right, sorry!

Even after you said, I couldn't believe there was a poor elegant Stampe trying to get out from under...

Certainly been in my top ten since I was lucky enough to go back in '86.

If I recall correctly, trying to recover some credibility, it was originally converted for a 1980s TV show about French Great War aces.
