Good for those of us who could not attend to see what was there. Great shot of the Spit there with the 'opposition' just showing on the left of the photo !! Not sure about the 'photo' below it though !!!

smooth landings

Yes I have just discovered that photobucket has rearranged all my photos into different albums, so I am now shifting them all back. I thought this would muck up the post on here but doesn't seam to have done so so far.

To tell the truth it did sneak in there by accident when Photobucket decided to rearrange my images into different folders, but I did decide to leave it there as it does fit. It was great to see the Fw finally put on a display this weekend. I especially like to see her fly with the two spitfires it was a neat site seeing the three flying side by side.

I have had a few issues with the new PhotoBucket also and when doing the thumbnails for the voting most where on the front of the list but not in the order i had uploaded them and as for yours Chris it had placed yours way back in the November last years voting thumbnails took me about 10 minutes to find it really not good when you are trying to keep to a dead line
But away from that as you say it was brilliant to see the two spitfires and the FW 190 almost holding hands and putting on a great display
We had a scanner here listening to the control and pilot chat which was almost as interesting as the airshow itself with saying like in the final fly over " Anson can you quickly move over to your left as you are to slow and the rest are fast catching you up" another just after the show had finished a spitfire just airborne from Omaka Woodbourne tower "Spitfire just departing Omaka can you please clear the area to the west as fast as you can" Spitfire "how bloody fast do you want me to go this is a Spitfire and I am pushing over 300 knots now" Tower "laughter and OK understood"

I have done the same myself in the past thought about it this time but didn't get round to it. I agree its great to hear whats going on in the back ground
