: Hi
:
: I have been going to airshows in australia for 40 years an
: d I have around 40,000 shots to show for it.
:
: I thought I might start posting some of these for you to s
: ee.
:
: Please note I didn't always have the best equipment as som
: e of these were taken on old kodak instamatics etc some we
: re also aquired from friends and aquaintences ( acknowledg
: ed where appropriate)
:
: My first installment is of Fireflys at airshows in the 198
: 0/1990s featuring WD828 which was recently restored yet ag
: ain and is flying in the USA. Mike Wansey was the first to
: get this machine flying in the 1980s but it crash landed
: after engine failure and was badly damaged. Subsequently i
: t was repaired using parts exchanged with the pole mounted
: example(which was put back up after the crash parts were
: refitted to it).
:
: WD828 was subsequently sold to the US where it was rebuil
: t and now flies again there as an award winning aircraft.
:
: If you all like these I will post regular archieved shots
: for you
