the engine in that 190 was awful, never heard such a rotten plane engine, very noisy and backfiring like a biatch.

Amazing pictures Gwurzel :aok :aok

I think the Korean war prop cv bomber is a douglas skyraider. It looks almost like a 50's jet with a prop. Those and the seafury and I think f8 showed another generation of prop planes after ww2.

I wish I wasnt scowling like that in the group photo but Bruv's girlfirend wasnt used to the camera and I am an inpatient git :lol

Anyway it was great to meet everyone.

Ive bought some pedals now and am defintely going to fly the Tiger moth next year Gwurzwel :x
