Narromine Airshow

[den]

This tiny photo is the replica Wright Flyer Model A at an altitued of 4m over the heads of dignitaries. A cross wind meant the plane couldn't use the main runway so they used the second runway, which is 300meters from where I was standing. If I had my camera I'd have better photos; all I had was the little Olympus digital from work.

On the other hand, I can post my photos now.


Airshow Panorama. Spot the Burt Rutan design!


RAAF Boomerang, from World War 2


A replica Japanese fighter (which?) from WW2

The Wright Flyer Model A.


The only modern consessions are a 57hp motor from a Hilman Imp, and modern synthetic sail cloth.

compared to a wright flyer? Yep! Actually, the Imp motor is the same size and weight as the original engine.
