Out and About on your Laverda.No bull,Just photos

That's pretty impressive, I went into the centre of Sydney to watch the Historic Aircraft flypast for Legacy Week on the 28/8, and it turned out to be one twin prop engined fairly modern-looking plane. The Notification showed that Spitfire with the Shark Teeth nose. Bit disappointing.

Should have been at the ManxGP Vince, genuine Spitfire display over Douglas Bay as part of the 100th celebrations. 🙂
 
That's cool Andy! For a plane of that vintage the pilot obviously isn't pussyfooting with it. Increcible engines - sounds so grunty and understressed. I remember seeing two hydrofoil racing boats on Lake Yarrawonga fitted with Merlins ... rooster tail city when they powered up on the straights!
 
Missed you by two weeks. Rode through Montcornet during the heatwave on the way to Marseille for England's opening World cup Rugby match. Fantastically well kept WW1 cemetery on the outskirts..

Part of the Royal Air Force ‘Battle of Britain Memorial Flight’ so professionally maintained and operated as part of the RAF.
If I hadn’t failed my aircrew medical 45 years ago (hayfever FFS!!!) guess I’d chose this option over the Red Arrows.
 
many fly over here all the time, 1 minute from Biggin Hill, (2 twin seaters and 4 singles plus 4 others under repair and about another 6 waiting.) one pilot is notable because he is likley as not breaking the rules, and gives it stick!

Lovely fall day for a ride here on the Canadian prairies. Unfortunately no Stonehenge like points of intetest or the Alps for scenic views. Not even Koala bears crossing the road. But we have lots of small towns with unique tourist attractions....sort of like the Twilight Zone meets Route 66.

We have BIG things in Oz as well. A few were made and that started just about every local council suddenly needing their own local BIG thing. Big Prawns BIG Rams, BIG Bannananas, just about every odd thing you could think of has a BIG statue made. People tour the country standing next to BIG things for a Photo. I guess Sculptures do well from this as well.
