Classic FIghters Omaka 2011
The theme for CFM 2011 was 'V for Victory', which enabled a nice set piece of Sir Winston Churchill being flown in to inspect the troops. New Aircraft displays were the FW-190N new build, a gorgeous P-40C, and Kermit Week's Albatros DIII. The hoped for Mosquito and Anson were 'no-shows', but scarcely surprising given how complicated it is to rebuild such aircraft. There was enough for a thoroughly good Airshow!
Is it just me or has the air show been re-branded? Previously I thought that it had been called 'Classic Fighters Marlborough', perhaps they're bringing the benefactor of the air show - the Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre - into the name.
This page covers the World War one era (roughly), the next covers everything else.
