Further to my last post, there were also a good range of other ex-military aircraft on display. Being more plentiful than the jets, they always take up a sizable portion of the display time, and never seem to disappoint. Unfortunately, I was somewhat distracted with some of the other [ground] activities and so did not manage to get as many display pictures as I would have liked to. The DC3 was also doing scenic rides on the day.
Top to bottom are:
DH82a Tiger Moth
Yak52
'Yakrobat' formation display team
Harvard
P40
Corsair
Trojan [x2]
DC3 Dakota [x2]
It's wonderful to climb the liquid mountains of the sky, Behind me and before me is God and I have no fears.
