Skyraider and Team Riva at Newtownards

jasT1981 · « **Reply #41 on:** August 06, 2011, 06:49:34 PM »

Was a great day, however the Dakota never made it over.

String · « **Reply #42 on:** August 06, 2011, 07:06:42 PM »

Unfortunately the weather over in some parts of england was really bad and there is a lot of localised flooding. That maybe the reason it didn't make it.

Causeway74 · « **Reply #43 on:** August 06, 2011, 07:17:22 PM »

The Dakota had to get an engine change yesterday according to the show commentary.

I didn't catch any airshow freq in use. Was there one?

Merlin · « **Reply #44 on:** August 06, 2011, 10:18:53 PM »

Selection from this afternoon. Yes I was as shocked as you are when I saw them

Merlin · « **Reply #45 on:** August 06, 2011, 10:21:30 PM »

A few more

I don't think these guys were on the programme but it was still nice to see them.

duffer80 · « **Reply #46 on:** August 06, 2011, 10:24:40 PM »

Some nice shots there Merlin, I am just uploading mine to my computer now, but looking at them on the camera they are similar to yours. How do I upload some to show them on the site?

Merlin · « **Reply #47 on:** August 06, 2011, 10:25:00 PM »

Final group for now.

We were very fortunate with the weather as it started to get very dull and overcast just as the display was ending.
All in all a very enjoyable afternoon.
The organisers were talking about it being bigger and better next year.

Watch this space

Hi duffer,

I uploaded mine to my Flickr account and then linked them to this site. Alternatively you could upload them directly into the gallery on this site.

Alternatively if you resize them to around 800px long you can click 'Reply' at the bottom of this page. Then click 'Additional Options'. This will then show an attachment option. If you click 'more attachments' you can add up to a max of 4 to your post.
