War Memorial open day air show

That Merlin engine … goosebumps inc.

I was standing on the top of Mount Ainslie and took a heap of photos. Some of the best ones can be found on my blog at http://michael.rwts.com.au.

I hope you enjoy!

I hear over the loudspeakers that the wirraways and p-51 mustangs were not flying today for some reason…pity…I like the rumble of the mustang

was a great day though…..

Well, I forgot my hat – which was a very dumb thing to do!

… actually it doesn’t, I just checked the mirror and there’s certainly some sunburn happening.

Sunscreen and big floppy hat … daggy as hell, but it works.

Yeah, I was a bit confused by that as well, and the only way I worked it out was by the markings on the aircraft.

Did you get sunburnt? I piled on heaps of sunscreen, but still got a bit red!

Thanks, Evil, it’s a bit hard to tell from underneath … and they were billed as Wirraways in the promos.

Great photos, Ari.

The three Wirraways are in fact North American Harvards – which is a close relative of the Wirraway. They were both developed from the same North American aircraft.
