simi_av8r 0 Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 It's taken a few days, but i've been busy with family stuff, and sifting through the 1100+ photos taken on Sunday to get some reasonably good ones to show to the world (and more importantly you guys here!) is taking longer than expected!!....so far i've managed to get 12 (yes i know, not many given i've had 3 days to do it!) uploaded to my new Flickr page and more will be uploaded as i get time to choose more...overall, i have 110 or so short-listed for upload, and of those i have around 5 in mind for photographic competitions currently going on. All i can say about my 1st ever Flying Legends is this....i've already booked next years dates off!! So, if you like "warbirds", you'd be silly not to make that click over to my Flickr page and take a look! Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,489 Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 Shame, I don't have a flickr account to view it Link to post Share on other sites
simi_av8r 0 Posted July 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 Shame, I don't have a flickr account to view it oops, my bad...they're all set to private viewing - i.e. only Flickr members can see...i'll get that changed right away Mut... in fact, consider it done!! EDIT: oh, still not working.....it appears you do need to be a flickr member....i'll get them onto PhotoBucket also! Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,489 Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 Thanks Simi! That's a shame you cannot have a public album, looking forward to the shots. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
simi_av8r 0 Posted July 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 Thanks Simi!That's a shame you cannot have a public album, looking forward to the shots. Cheers That's not the problem Mut, i edited the permissions to make them all publicly viewable, but then i read the Flickr Ts&Cs only to find it say that content with a 'Public' privacy rating can be seen only by all other Flickr members, as opposed to only Flickr friends etc... anyway, i'm getting the first few up onto PB by tomorrow evening, and i'll post the link then Link to post Share on other sites
simi_av8r 0 Posted July 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 Ok, i think i've managed to upload them correctly into PhotoBucket on my Flying Legends Album, and to make life easy for you all, I've attached clickable thumbnails below - just click a shot you like to see it in a new tab/window at full size....

simi_av8r 0 Posted July 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 that wasn't a pass.... he'd just taken off and was going full tilt!! Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 Great shots, Simi. The Corsair looks great. Is that a Grumman Bearcat in the photos towards the end? Three SkyRaiders together must have sounded great, as the six Spits had to. Thanks for posting them where those of us who aren't social networkers can see them too.

Three SkyRaiders together must have sounded great, as the six Spits had to. Thanks for posting them where those of us who aren't social networkers can see them too. John 3 Skyraiders sounded like a cacophony of raging bulls, the thudding of their radial engines had my neck hairs on end and sent tingles down my back as they flew by - absolutely awesome! Is that a Grumman Bearcat in the photos towards the end? It's not no, that's a Sea Fury... although the BearCat was equally as great, such a little thing when compared to the powerful engine shoe-horned within it's fuselage! As for the 6 Spitfires, there were actually ten, yes 10 in the air, it's just my 130-400mm lens at minimum zoom wasn't able to get them all in shot at the same time, but the noise...oh wow, the noise of 10 Merlin engines over head was like angels singing, such an awe-inspiring sound, it sent me all wobbly knee'd!

simi_av8r 0 Posted July 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 Here's the next batch guys...and John, there's a Bearcat and a few more Sky Raiders in this lot for you! Once again guys, click the thumbnail to get a full view. Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 Very nice shots, Simi. All radials this time around, even the Ju-52. Have never seen one of them in the air. John Link to post Share on other sites

John Thanks John, appreciated...there's still another 80+ to process, so don't think you've seen them all just yet! As for the JU52/3M, that's one of a whole host of aircraft i'd never seen fly before until Flying Legends....among the others i'd not seen before were the Buchon, Sky Raiders, BearCat, and of those not yet posted, there was the Yaks (2x Yak 3 & 1x Yak 9), Polikarpov I16, 2x Ryan P-22s, 3x classic Hawker Bi-Planes.....and er, well, i think it'd be easier to say everything other than the Spitfires and 2x Boeing Stearmans used for the Wing Walker aerobatics!
