Blenheim Festival of Flight - pics

[Manonthefence]

My first trip to an airshow at Blenheim. The traffic outside the gates was awful (ok so we left late but 2 hours to do 2 miles was a bit silly) inside the gates it was excellent. The problem appeared to be lack of control at junctions leading to a free for all.

Enough of the complaints, once inside what a wonderful atmosphere, the flying was excellent in difficult conditions, all of the family who came with me thought the music over the PA during the flying was excellent.

Heres the photos



















Smile!


Dennis Kenyon yet again did the impossible with a Helicopter, sadly he has only got 2 more displays after today. Then he retires.



















All in all an enjoyable day out.

Very nice Nick.

Glad there's somewhere you can post your pics at the moment!

Love that Vixen - the paint scheme really grows on me.

I'm sure it's not just my eyesight, but something in the tecchie bit of 1s and 0s in this software makes lines appear quite jagged on photos posted on this site, giving quite an odd appearance to wings and the like. Or is it just my monitor?

Slightly off topic, whilst wandering in London today, we went and had a look at the new BofB monument. It looks like they're going to have their work cut out to get it completed for the unveiling next month!
