Before their solo displays the worlds only airworthy Demon and Gladiator put on (yet another) unique formation.

The wind was too strong for the Edwardians and the Dagling, so we had to make do with a rather nice Prefect instead.

Evenings dont get much better than this!

As always Nick, great shots and I appreciate your work and postings on WIX. Old warden has been on my list since I was 10. One of these days, I'll get there!

I love the O.D. on the T-6! Were any actually painted that way? (Squadron hacks etc.)

As usual, gorgeous stuff...takes me back to the two times I went there in 2000 and '01, even got to wander around and look at the college too...a very nice area.....never a colder summer night have I spent on the flight line but the tea and coffee while watching the show helped....the place is a blast (and the local pub serves a decent Lasagna, too!)

Great pictures! I love the T-6 scheme too. But why do we need an oxygen mask? :shock: :lol:

At least he's wearing a helmet. You don't see that much for some reason.
