I posted this on the local IL2 community website, just some pics I took of the recent display. Hope it give those OOF guys some inspiration





Whew what an Anzac Day its been here in Masterton. Unfortunately for the following photos, the skies were overcast, so not the best for taking photos, but it did kind-of follow with the Anzac theme.

Quite a lineup!

Be2 taking to the skies:

Pfaltz:

Brand spanking new original Avro 504, with original rotary engine:


Bit of a small mishap on landing, bit of a crosswind picked the wing up. Lucky they have wingtip skids to stop damage eh?

SE5a's:








Sopwith Camel :


RNZAF's Harvard came down for a display:

Stampe (Yellow) and Tigermoth, both put on a brilliant ribbon cutting, balloon popping and flour bombing display:

The star of the show, the debut of the worlds only FE2b:





More SE5a's:

And a big wave to finish the show, after showering us in poppies from the gunner seat:



All in all some great flying on display, and hints of some new WWI types due out Novemberish... watch this space :8)
