Thursday's post "Airshow"
Good morning. This should have been posted on Tuesday but busy after the BH just got in the way. Sunday I went to Headcorn airfield to see a friend's son jump out of a perfectly good plane. His choice. When we got there they had an air display and a classic car meet one, this was not known to us. My friend (not the one jumping) has a damaged tendon at the back of his knee and can't walk too far. So we didn't bother with the cars. We set u at the cafe and stayed there until his son did his jump. This is where I took my photos. Not my friends son These next two were taken last year with better weather As you can see I have a real thing about the Spitfire. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Orc6_w1pdZA www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_GCXur2Ehw www.youtube.com/watch?v=skrxCrsN290 www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOzEeJZ92X8 www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERTcUmTE2ck&t=6s Have a great day
That was something else. Glad you could witness the event. I rather liked them though. Too bad they took them down.
ReplyDeleteYes, that is right, Jeanne
DeleteThe right place at the right time with your camera. These were supposed to represent the "clean" power source of the future. A sad commentary on the fate of our Earth.

It was an early start as it was an hours drive awsy

Thanks, Barb
DeleteIf you've ever read the writings of a demolition expert you'd know how much planning goes in to making it go down so smoothly! You were in a great place to photograph the sequence. Awesome, and thanks for posting it.
ReplyDeleteYes, that was over a year.
DeleteWow, that's pretty exciting. I agree with you, though, Trev. They should have just left them up, because no one's going to want to use that spot for anything else. Thank you for sharing the pictures!
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome
DeleteQuite the implosion. Glad you got to witness it. I have seen one in person and several on TV. It's interesting to watch as long as one is far away.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Eileen
