Title: The Vintage Aviator Ltd Remembrance Day airshow 9th November 2013
Post by: Jamo on November 12, 2013, 07:23:12 PM

Spring weather is very changeable in the Wellington region and wind conditions can play havoc with TVAL airshows, but last Saturday turned out very well. Virtually all the aircraft got to fly and the new walkaround arrangements permitted a better selection of angles. What a fantastic show, probably the best yet. I have already shown a few photos of the new Albatros D.II and Sopwith Snipe in other threads so this photo selection will show other highlights.

No particular order

The Avro 504K had some engine problems soon after take off and had to make an emergency landing with insufficient airspeed. It dropped hard from about 10m on to the grass. Fortunately the damage did not appear to be serious and pilot was unhurt (but probably shaken).

Thanks to the pilots, the ground crew, the commentators, the volunteers and organisers for putting on a fantastic display.

Is this show on your bucket list yet?

Thanks for looking

Cheers
James

Absolutely brilliant James, thanks very much for posting these wonderful photos, what a spectacular collection of WW1 aircraft and some nice vehicles as well. Your
in-flight photography is excellent and the close up work will be great reference material. I will get there one year to see all these great aircraft in person.

Des.

My Oh My!
It's official - I want to live, breath and die in New Zealand. Chances of that happening? -500%

I need a winning lottery ticket!  ;D

Beautiful selection of eye candy, Jamo  :o

Thanks for depressing me  :P

Hi James

I'm just catching up on things. 

The photos are superb and so helpful. Thanks! You must have a very impressive photo archive. By comparison with the years when I started building kits in the fifties we are so spoiled.

Best wishes
Nigel

Wow - what a sight!

Shame it's so far away, I'd love to see it.   

If they ever find themselves with too many aeroplanes I know an ideal storage facility for some of them in Essex (UK) - what better place  than Stow Maries for such machines.   I can dream ......

Sad to hear that the Avro 504 had engine problems and had to make a forced landing, thankfully the crew were uninjured and it appears the aircraft came through the ordeal relatively unhurt. Lets hope that they sort our the engine issues and have the plane up flying again soon.

Many many thanks - a fabulous scene, wonderful (and highly useful - well chosen details) pics and obviously a great experience. I guess on a day like this they probably have more hardware in the sky than the actual New Zealand Air Force?

Also, makes me wonder how many pilots they have available to fly them, ie. they must have an impressive number of guys 'rated' to handle these fragile machines.

Cheers, Mark

Many thanks, Jamo for all these great photos. How I wish I could visit NZ...

Post by: Jamo on November 23, 2013, 04:55:53 AM

Thank you all for the feedback  :)  It is hard to describe the deep appreciation and wonderment I have for the work Peter Jackson and his team are achieving. For a WWI aviation enthusiast these airshows are the experience of a lifetime. I come home with a buzz that lasts for days. Then there are the lovely quiet open hangar days when I am just about the only member of the public there, pottering around, getting down underneath the planes . . . Peter Jackson is about the same age as me, so hopefully it won't end any time soon.

NZ is a fantastic place to take a holiday, really you should all visit!

Regards
James

A little OT here with a question.

Jamo posts dozens of beautifully photographed pictures on Photobucket. Photobucket went thru some site changes many months ago and did away with one being able to download an entire album (such as this one) with a single click, so one could save these images for later reference. I sent them an e-mail query and they stated that this function was no longer available.

I find now that I must download each photo separately and put them in a new folder. Time consuming and not always efficient.

Have I missed something on doing this an easier way? Anyone have any suggestions or shortcuts?
