Mock Attack on the Airfield 1996

This shows two Harvards, which were part of the force "attacking" the airfield. Various aircraft, including Mustangs and Spitfires, were dispatched to repel the invasion. They were successful, but only after much strafing by machine guns and numerous explosions of the attackers' bombs.

Somebody must have had a lot of fun setting up the "pyrotechnics" for this routine. The timing of the explosions was quite good. Also, the valley below the level of the airfield was a useful place for aircraft which had been "shot down" to disappear into. I think this is one of the better photos I took at this show as well - its nicely detailed, and it seems to have captured that fireball perfectly!



I usually write a blog post about once a week. The latest post can be viewed here: Deranged Rants: Many of them are totally feral, unhinged, and totally irrational. (posted 2024-11-13 at 17:55:14). I do podcasts too!. You can listen to my latest podcast, here: OJB's Podcast 2024-08-22 Stirring Up Trouble: Let's just get every view out there and fairly debate them..
