Project Propeller does Old Warden

I think i managed to photograph every aircraft that came in so if you are interested in a photo please contact me here or by email and i will be more than happy to send you a copy.

Heres just a selection of my favourites, first of all the taxi way conditions that caused some problems:

Peter Holloway and a freind flew a lovely routine with his Klemm KL35 and Miles Magister:

And a lovely and spirited display by Peter Teichmann in G-KITT, his gorgous P40 from North Weald.

Timothy gets the gear up quickly doesn't he (is this a rhetoric question and should I add a question mark?)

I was a bit worried until I saw zero flap on Lizzie and realised this must be take off rather than landing.

Isn't the gear retract on Cessna singles a scary thing to watch!

No wonder the aeroplane was so filthy when I got home! I spent this afternoon getting some of the worst of it off :lol: An oddly satisfying process, if though I did have to settle for clean[b]er[/b] rather than actually [b]clean[/b] :wink:

I would love one of G-TOMS if you caught us.

Ollie, if you happened to snap any of G-BFMH (white 177 with green stripes), I'd love to see them. Arrived 1120, departed 1605.

BTW, I take issue with the very first caption. The runway conditions were fine, it was the taxiway that got churned up. What a shame you didn't get a shot of 421C's 421C going through that mud, it was quite spectacular!


I do appologise i will correct the text. I did not get many taxi photos, there where some very spectacular sprays as people went through. Sadly i had the wrong lens on to get most aeroplanes in fully.

I do have a bit of a sequence of the gear retracting in my photos that could be posted if there is interest.

Any pics of G-BRDO. C177, white with orange/yellow strips.
Landed around 12:30 and one of the last to depart.
Life teaches us that we seldom get MORE than we pay for. But often, we get less than we pay for due to incompetence or deceit.
