Shoreham R.A.F.A Airshow 2007

B25 Mitchell and Crew at the Airshow. A dedicated and friendly bunch, it was a pleasure to have them at the show!

I've been a fan for quite a while of two aviation websites - Flightline UK and Air-Scene UK and had the privilege to meet the men who run the sites. Paul Johnson (Flightline UK) and Gary Parsons (Air-Scene UK). Both sites are crammed with information, articles and images on UK aviation. Well worth spending an hour or two visiting them.

Blue skies, classic planes, the Blades and Jan Leeming doing a wingwalk; a perfect precursor to the main show on 15/16 September 2007.

Jan Leeming firmly attached to plane!

Things are looking up for R.A.F.A.

 

The celebrations were sponsored by Shepherd Neame Brewery with their aptly named Spitfire Ale.

Each year Shoreham Airport hosts the Royal Airforces Association Airshow. I have been lucky enough to work with the show's press office and meet the dedicated helpers who make each show a joy to watch.

I have created sideshows covering the last three years which can be downloaded here.

Christian Moullec

The man in the microlight pictured above is Christian Moullec. For the last 10 years he has been flying with barnacle and greylag geese with the aim of gaining experience to be able to aid the migration in a microlight with the endangered lesser white-fronted goose. He has some incredible aerial photographs on his website - well worth a look. (the site is in French but there is an English translation).
