Upon arrival from Manta (SEMT) I managed to shoot our ride. Beautiful plane, and a smooth jaunt! 12,000 feet, 240 knots. Dataplate checked by myself. (Nikon D610 + Nikkor 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5G ED AF-S)

Early morning bad weather resulted in some participants missing out on the first day of Flying Legends 2014. This gorgeous Hurricane arrived halfway through the flying program but better late than never!

Taking off at Flying Legends 2014. Painted in unusual Norway AF / RAF No. 20 Transport Squadron markings, which were only briefly carried in Norway between June 1945 and Feb 1946. This Squadron, unrelated to the RAF's own No.20 Squadron, was in fact a continuation of the German Air Force 20 Transportfliegergeschwader. The squadron, formally controlled by the RAF, was the first step in re-establishing civil aviation in Norway after the war, using several DC-3s and Lockheed L-18 Lodestars. In 1946 the DC-3s were transferred to DNL, Norway's main pre-war airline and one of the predecessors of SAS.

This aircraft is operated for the Royal Navy Historic Flight. It was severely damaged in a landing accident at Culdrose on 31st July 2014.

Previously N157JC

First flown back in 1987, the Egrett was originally designed as a high-altitude, long-duration surveillance platform for a joint German/US military specification, but the programme was cancelled in the early 1990s. Now revived in NG form, it features extremely high aspect ratio wings and is powered by a Honeywell TPE 331-14F turboprop. The G520T can reach 50,000 ft, fly 2,700 nm and remain airborne for up to 11 hours (or 32 hours in a proposed UAV mode)
