Lucky old Kev, getting to Duxford this year. I was travelling when Flying Legends was on, so last weekend we hauled the tribe up to Edinburgh for East Fortune's annual bash again. :jump:

There were the regulars like a very noisy Typhoon:-

Sea Fury T.20 made a return visit (as we shooed the gang back to the car):-

Remembered it now, it's a Mustang thingy. Kev should know this one iirc:-

But there were some more unusual visitors too. Jet Provost:-

L-4 Grasshopper, reminded me of 0-1 Driver:-

Another combat veteran, this time from Vietnam. A Huey with a 500-hour combat record:-

Kev's Buchon, flying!

Hurricane IIc from the BBMF (please fly just a little closer to the crowd next time?):-

But what I was most pleased with was the RNHF's Swordfish who did fly close enough - and slow enough....

Enjoy!
 
Loic, old chap, Edinburgh is in Scotland. But it did rain, albeit briefly: nothing like last year's downpours...
 
A really nice set.

The Mustang "Janie" is based just a few miles from me and is part of the Hardwick Warbirds collection.


The owner and pilot is Maurice Hammond. He does on occasion come and play with us at our RC events.

This is his other Mustang "Marinell" that I got up close and personal to a couple of years back.

Apologies for the thread hijack.
 
Thanks for those Kev, especially the Flickr album link. Modelers can never have too many references! :applause:
