Been meaning to post these for sometime...airshow back in January. Avenger was the highlight for me...not as much WW2 metal or jets this time. Good weather though - sun made photography
difficult

Meant to go, couldn't get the timing right.
Haven't seen the Avenger in the flesh, looks most excellent.
Paul a couple of your Harvard shots are bullseyes!
Drones, eh? Display flying or photography mule?

The drone was part of the display but no doubt it was taking pics as well

Ah - on second look, I see it's not what it seems!

That overhead Avenger shot is actually quite spectacular, I'll have to watch the airshow calendar for it next year.
I didn't know (but looked it up) that it is actually a Tim Wallis collection, returnee aircraft
Hope it's not sold off before I get there.
