ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

I also visited the Aviodrome Museum on the occasion , but only on Sunday the 5th ,for a few hours. It was a happening which I enjoyed very much with a number of very rare , historic planes around. Here are some examples of the pictures I took:

(1) although the event was all about the remembrance of the London-Melbourne Race in 1934 , for me personally the highlight of the show was the running-up of the engine of the Fokker D.VII -replica !! Next time Connie again?

Image

(2) A rare visitor was the Bucker (CASA 1131) Jungmann G-BUOR

Image

(3) a Piper J3C Cub is also a plane which you don't see every day

Image

(4) the Miles Falcon Major G-AEEG came over from Britain to attend the London-Melbourne celebration ; a unique sight in the Netherlands , of course !

Image

(5) the Lambach II is a replica and belongs to the Aviodrome-collection

Image

(6) the Cierva C.30A SE-AFI of the museum is the predecessor of our modern helicopter

Image

My compliments to all the people of the Aviodrome Museum who organized this event ; I hope they will keep up the good work ! :wink: :wink:
Bye bye for now, :byebye:
