The V2 "was" owned by Classic Fighters airshow and was put together by a team of volunteers in the main hangar at Omaka.
I did have a good weeks work but never took most of the photos I wanted to.
Would have been nice to take a load more ground based photos on the nice blue days, but was too busy with other things on those days.

I dont have Flight Simulator, so that is out of the question unfortunately.
Photography takes up too much time these days so I gave up on FS a few years ago.

Fantastic shots though....and thanks for posting here.

I have a newish (bought about year ago) Nikon DSLR which I still haven't got to an airshow yet with it (hopefully this summer!) . I hope to get at leasts half the quality of your shots.
