shorts sunderland or porqupine as jerry called it.

errh a pink spitfire wtf!!! bet it looks like a flying dildo :grin:

liking the sunderland oh and on the subject of flying boats anyone got pics of the spruce goose ??? not too sure if it got compleated by it was supposed to by the largest flying boat ever built ??

pink is the best cammo for the met flight.

Beautiful aircraft. Was lucky enough to see her at RAF Fairford RIAT this year, certainly my favourite display there since the last B-2 flyover (BBMF don't count, they have a head-start on awesome ^_^).

Soviet is right that Germany uses, or at least used MiG-29 - the East German MiG-29Gs were bought up by the newly unified Germany and fitted with some Western avionics systems.

I saw her (vulcan bomber) twice this year. She is one loud plane!

had one here at blackpool as a gate guardian until a couple of years ago, it was good to se one actually flying and hear that raw power...

though as nice as it was......

its just not a merlin :)

6 merlins all flying over at once is a nice sound that cant be beaten!! (BBMF, lanc x4 spit x1 hurrican x1)

Rolls Royces all the same though, alot better (dare i face the wrath) than those Soviet ones.
But no the Olympus went on to power Concorde.

Back on topic I think Nimrod is a good name.

Ohh the "Caspian Sea Monster"
a big Ekranoplan

not stricktly a plane but.

Hey now. Let's not go crazy with what we say, alright? We don't want anyone's feelings getting hurt, with me having to show them up with a VK-105PF-2 Engine. lol

Now I'm not sure where this is shot, but the paint job is definitely Normandie-Niemen. Who were French pilots flying for the Soviets in WW2. This is the only Yak-3 I know of, that is actually flying with a reproduction VK-105PF-2 engine. Unlike the more familiar Airshow Yak-3 "White 100" which is powered by an Allison. Anyway, enjoy. :D

VK-105PF-2 Engine

sorry some one seems to have overlayed the noise of a sewing matchine over that vidio.
