 | This is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum. Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post. In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.). Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so. |

This afternoon I heard the roar of its engines and ran outside just in time to see it fly very low over our garden. I will miss that sight.
When I was about 10 years old, I got a model kit of this plane. Ever since it has been one of my favourite planes ever. A couple of years ago I was very lucky to experience a flight in this beautiful bird. A memory for ever.

The same for me. Such a shame! It's a big loss for Dutch historical aviation.Wildpicture wrote:This afternoon I heard the roar of its engines and ran outside just in time to see it fly very low over our garden. I will miss that sight.

Not only the blister, but also a large part of the main wing came from the NMM.
