A bit of a random selection

Sitting in my hotel room passing the time prior to an airshow tomorrow, I thought I would share a few random aviation shots from my Flickr stream.

 

Firstly, a slightly different take on a great pair of aircraft:

I bet your ears rang when the Sea Fury was running its Centaurus,  I stood next to it during engine testing a couple of weeks back, I had to move away to preserve my eardrums!

 

Nice set, I can look at aircraft piccies all week long

Nice set, was sad to see the sea fury on its belly, pilot did a grand job though

A great set and it would be hard to choose a favourite, but if I did, it would definitely be the Spitfire against the sun.
