Gidday peoples.

I attended the Classic Fighters airshow yester day here on Omaka, Blenheim, New Zealand.
Mainly deals with WW1 aircraft but has all sorts of others too.

Excellent show, apart from the dull weather.

I hope you enjoy my amateur effort..

Dove of Peace didn't come up from Wanaka, some mech. problem I believe.
Rob, the ex 'Blue Max' Pfalz flew. I will send a few pics if you want to put them up for me.

Shall post when I get home

Col Rohr, Sir,
I got a heap of ground shots of the DR.1s and the also the Pfalz and Halberstadt. I also shall post some of these.

Cheers

The Blue Max Pfalz D.III did indeed fly.

Also flying was the Haberstadt D.IV

It was the first time I have seen the Airco DH-2 flying.

Here are a few more photos.

I have tried to set the resolution and file size at a point where there is enough detail, but they are not worth stealing. Hopefully they aren't too much of a strain on anybodies bandwidth.

Let me know if they are still too large.

I don't intend posting many more from Omaka, as I still haven't sorted through my photos from Avalon yet. Let me know if there is a particular aircraft you would like to see, and I'll see if I have a reasonable photo of it.

OK, here are a couple of Graham Bethell's P-51 in a new (temporary?) scheme.
