After months of planning, we finally made our way to Malbork and arrived outside the fence on the Tuesday. Despite no training flights being booked on the Tuesday our first action came in the form of a CAP.

Very nice

Unusual, very nice set.

Thanks for sharing these, absolutely wonderful to see these, especially the ninth shot, if the Mug 29UB, with lots of lovely clag behind it. A great selection of shots you've provided for our enjoyment.

Hi Olie

Bet those Fulcrums sounded as awesome as they looked

Thanks for posting such a great set of shots

Thanks! That approach was very memorable, believe it was flown by Poland’s first female fighter pilot. We sure saw some impressive flying throughout!
