Jack Posted August 2, 2007 Author Share Posted August 2, 2007 Ok folks this series is of the C47 taking off from Upottery for the first time ever since the war - they took off and give us our own display before landing again to pcik up some passengers - just play with my new camera :-D http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s15/hmvf/takeoff1-1.jpg[/img] . http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s15/hmvf/takeoff2-1.jpg[/img] . http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s15/hmvf/takeoff3-1.jpg[/img] . http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s15/hmvf/takeoff4.jpg[/img] . http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s15/hmvf/takeoff5.jpg[/img] .

Jack Posted August 2, 2007 Author Share Posted August 2, 2007 Take off for the last time. One minute it was in my view finder then it was gone. I was amazed at how it took off in such a short distance but it was pretty much empty. We were left in a cloud of dust and grit and the prop blast was flipping powerful - can now see why the airborne had lost a lot of gear once they hit the prop blast when they jumped into Normandy. http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s15/hmvf/C47startup.jpg[/img] . http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s15/hmvf/off1.jpg[/img] . http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s15/hmvf/off2.jpg[/img] . http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s15/hmvf/off3.jpg[/img] . http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s15/hmvf/off4.jpg[/img] . http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s15/hmvf/flypast3.jpg[/img] . http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s15/hmvf/flypast2.jpg[/img] . http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s15/hmvf/flypast1.jpg[/img] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Mike! It was a fantastic show and yes you will have to get down there next year - not saying to much at this point but I think that it is safe to say that there wouldn't of been a show like it before in the UK ;-) :whistle: Not saying that there will be a C47 there - just not saying how many...... ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Degsy Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Brings back many happy memories of flying in Daks in the sixties, the wings used to flap like a demented seagull but used to get a much more comfortable flight than in modern jets, much better seats and loads of leg room.
