Greetings,

I posted some pics at the "UK Forum" and thought I would do the same here.
This was a wee airshow in Masterton at Jan 22-23rd (100kms north of Wellington, NZ) and featured some great aircraft.

Here's a few pics...

(Warning of big pics to 56k dial up users....)

I hope you enjoyed these.
There are more if you are keen.

Cheers

OK, trying out this Photobucket set-up.

Here is a photo I took at the 2005 Masterton airshow.

A request from Col Rohr...

OK, here are another couple of photos from Masterton.

A load of tripe...

And a view of the ex-OFMC that most of our British WIXers will never have seen. That blue stuff behind the Corsair is what the sky looks like when it is not obscured by clouds...

Cheers,

Guys

Unfortunately I couldn't make the show..a query for you..did the WW1 airfield attack take place at the opening of the show..or was the wind a bit strong ?

Dave

yes there was a WW1 attack, at least on the Sunday...

Here's a shot I took of the tank firing..

Hi Rob,

There was a good selectoin of WW1 stuff;

3 x Fokker Dr.1 Triplanes, an Avro 504K, a Brisfit, a Sopwith Camel and a Nieuport 17

Cheers

We haven't had a photo of the Avro 504 yet, so here's one.

And a photo of the third P-40 in attendance.

The programme went as advertised on both days, with the exception of the Devon which was a no-show.

The wind on Saturday morning was probably at the limit for the WW1 types, but they still gave a full display.

This has been fun Chris. Should we do it again after Omaka?

Cheers,

Brett

Hiya,

For sure, the picture sound-off has been a real hoot, Brett.

I"ll definitely take a heap of pics at Omaka, and we can have another go.

Here's a few more pics,

L-19's

Me-108 (posing as a 109 complete with butane "cannons")

and Tigers
