Thanks for sharing these with us, absolutely wonderful shots, shame there's no sound though. Another iconic type that has gone from the skies, apart from the Swedish Historic Flight, maybe they'll be allowed to fly it and the other types at a show here one day. But at least Newark Air Museum has one on display, kept under cover too.

Absolutely stunning shots, Michael :Wow:

The aptly named ‘Thunder’ :thumbs:

I can remember no other single-engined aircraft that could make the ground shake like she could with the ‘heaters plugged in :O

Thanks for posting :thumb:

As said by others simply sublime, so crisp and such different shots make you want to build a Time Machine. Thanks for posting.

Have exactly the same shots, but most of my flying shots are nowhere near yours. It was a very good couple of days.

Viggens !!!! Ohhh Mummy !!!!!!!
Knees gone all trembly
Its gonna rain, its gonna rain till the levee breaks, a tidal wave of fear and pain washes us away, another fight into the night until nothing else remains, how do we find harbour from the Hurricane?
