I saw one at a show in Essex, impressive, also there were lightnings and a Vulcan.. The same Vulcan that was flying until recently. She was the RAFs display aircraft. Ah, those memories...

Would love to hear her come alive and the roar of the props
Another type of aircraft I am not familiar with. Thanks, Rob!
I sure bet it roars with those props turning in opposite directions. Have never seen this plane before, but have seen the prop arrangement on some forgotten plane in the 1960s. And, aw....you mentioned Neil. Now I feel all sad again. Man, I STILL miss him!
Beauty aircraft my friend!!Bravissimo!V:DDD.Hugsxx Whylma
Sweet capture. Yeah, I miss Neil as well.
Cool, and I never heard of the aircraft either myself.
What a BEAUTY my friend. They were great at anti-submarine warfare if my memory serves me correct! Andrew.
