Wings Over Wairarapa: Yak 52's and the big bang

Well this is it. The last post from the airshow, and as I'm sure someone will point out, I missed publishing a lot of photos.

For example, several of the WWI aircraft, the awesome Tiger Moth display, the attempt to get the Pearce 1903 replica flying, the Bren Gun carriers [so what... :-P] and many more. As I started off by saying, I was mainly there to help on the Wellington Aero Club stand, so it's not surprising that I was not in the right spot for a lot of the photos.

One aircraft type I do want to publish photos for though is the Yakovlev Yak 52. These guys always put on a good show, and one of my [many] favourite photos came from these aircraft, so the first photo below is near the top of the formation look with smoke on.

The final photo is from the finale... and that's the mock airfield attack complete with explosions :-) Enjoy!
