Well another superb Flying Legends has been and gone. A very big thank you to all from TFC and IWM who helped organise another wonderful event.

A few quick pics from me, I haven’t finished sorting them yet. In no particular order

Nick,
Awesome photos.
You make it look has they did that whole performance just so you
could take the pictures.

Great pictures Nick.

Looks like I should have gone back Sunday.

MOTF,

Absolutely oustanding photo's Sir. Forgive my ignorance here, but as I think I have only seen a few rebuild shots of it before, would one of those photo's be of a SAAB B17 ?? The photo is great as I have never seen it airborne before.

And the others.....one word, Spectacular. Makes me wish I have visted England.

SAAB B17 it is. Looks extremely ungainly with the dive brakes/legs down but very effective.

MOTF,

Thank you again for sharing these beautiful shots of the show. The second batch is in some respects even better than the first. OUTSTANDING Sir....

Thank you,

My thoughts on Pink Lady pic: DON'T HURT IT!!!!

I didn't realize such a big aircraft could maneuver like that.

What's a "Pink Lady"? Some kind of alchoholic drink with a little umbrella in it???? :?: :?

Nice shots Nick!!

Glad to finally meet you in person.

The "Pink Lady" shot is one of the highlights of the week-end for me. As the two B-17s came in towards the crows on Saturday, they each went into a lef-hand turn, and with Pinky having more power than Sally and with the international French-speaking pilots reputation at risk, Michel Bény sent "Pink Lady" in this most spectacular climbing left turn.
