Royal Jordanian Falcons. I was lucky. I had planned to try pro-capture mode, but I had the wrong card in slot A! It's also cropped by about 40%. I'm hoping the new pro zoom will be out in time to rent it for RIAT 2020.

I've heard about the Willow Run plant, have you seen the videos on YouTube?

Martin

Yes, I have a couple of DVD's.

The first time I missed the sad rating. I hate to see these beautiful old airplanes waste away.

You know, I'm not sure it is the real deal, it may be a mock up.

The spinner is not smooth enough after the first step and there shouldn't be a kink on the top of the cooler on the cowling, it was a smoother curve than that and the corrosion looks like rust: aluminium goes to a whitish powder not red/brown.

The Star looks to be a decal rather than painted on; just my two coins worth.

I was looking at the top of the wing and how the metal has become uneven. I think it's the rea thing that is setting somewhere on display. It may have been painted/decaled to keep it fresh looking once upon a time.

Maybe @Acraftman will tell us!

I think I may have found the P40 in question:

If you look above the exhaust stacks I think you can see "Junkyard Dog"

So it is! Good find!

Trawling the photo folders again and remembered these from last years Wiltshire holiday, taken from Old Sarum towards Old Sarum airfield.

A Cessna (?)


Edit: second shot is Cessna 150F (G-BSZV) and the second is a Piper PA-28-161 (G-BUFH)

I love this shot. I like the ground in the back instead of sky. Really cool.

Eleven Corsairs: what a sight and sound that must have been!

Andrew, I only count ten!
As you say the sound must have been awesome.

As I said Ten Corsairs! Thanks, Mike I was barely awake at the time!

We have a burglar in our midst. Who stole the 11th Corsair?

You'se guys is a hoot!

There were eleven there. One of the pilots was bouncing back and forth between a Corsair and a Mustang. (FWIW, I've decided he has the best job in the world). He didn't make the formation flying. I suppose he was probably too busy looking at himself in the mirror and telling himself what a lucky *@$&! he is.

My pleasure Andrewmap.

My pleasure Andrew.

Ok, which is it? the username is Andrew, the real name says Martin.

I am soooo confused!

I am soooo confused!

Obviously I am too, as an oldish codger easily confused by different user names and real names.
Sorry Martin, must be past my bedtime.

No worries, Mike, it is my middle name anyway and rarely gets used!

There was one point when they were all flying abreast coming perpendicular to the flight line. It was a great visual, but they were so spread out taking a photo of any consequence was impossible. Here are some of them as they passed.

Just so as not to confuse Martin, there are seven in this photo. (sorry, couldn't resist!)
