Pictures from Blenhiem Palace - Fly to the Past

Post by Pegasusbelgar »

Today I went to a WW2 show at Blenhiem Palace which is 2 miles from where I live, I took a friend and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Camera is abit Grainy, didnt come out as clear as I hoped.

Here are some pics from the show.

A Early DC6 (these were going to replace the C47s but cancelled due to the end of the war, so Douglas changed them into passenger airline)

I was a bit unclear... I mean I don't give a sh..t what I'm bombing - as long as I fly with my friends.
I'm a happy bomber

Great pics!

We've got a reasonable number of British pilots where I work, they are always talking about the various airshows going on over there. One of these days I'll have to drop by and have a look.
