Silly Fokkers

in #aircraft7 years ago

I actually have no idea what type of planes these are, but they flew over us this afternoon. I suspect they were actually British as the local airfield RAF Henlow is celebrating its centenary. Those planes could be around 100 years old, so it's impressive they are still flying.

Planes

I didn't see it, but yesterday there was another set of planes spelling out 100 in the sky.

Unfortunately the base is closing next year to be redeveloped for housing. It's a signals engineering base and the only flying that goes on there is a gliding club. I worked there many years ago on my industrial year of my degree.

The last of the few?

Cool old fashion plane. I bet you studied a science related course back in the university.

I think the only bi-plane model I recall by name is the Tiger Moth. Whatever they are, impressive they're still up there.

You must have a bloody good camera to catch them that far up in this much detail.

Just my phone. They were fairly low and I used a bit of digital zoom

That's a surprise, phones really are getting better all the time.
