W5856 is the oldest surviving airworthy Fairey Swordfish in the world. She first flew on Trafalgar Day (21 October) 1941 and was a “Blackfish”, built by Blackburn Aircraft at Sherburn-in-Elmet and delivered to 82 MU (Lichfield) on 20 October 1941 for overseas transport to Gibraltar. W5856 served with the Royal Navy’s Mediterranean Fleet for a year. Little is known of her role while on active Service in the Mediterranean but it is likely W5856 was based at North Front, Gibraltar, carrying out patrols over the Straits. She was then returned to Fairey’s Stockport factory for refurbishment during winter 1942/43.

One of the flying displays involving vultures flying through the crowd at very close range, at times requiring spectators to duck.
I love vultures, they are a very important species of bird for the ecosystem in which they live. Without them, there'd be more disease, as they are very efficient at stripping a dead animal of its flesh. One recording showed a cow in India being consumed within ten minutes of the first vultures arriving, meaning the risk of disease from the rotting carcass is averted.

The Avro Type IV Triplane, built in 1910 by aviation pioneer A.V. Roe, was a breakthrough British aircraft from the dawn of flight. Featuring three stacked wings and a front-mounted (tractor) propeller, it was designed for improved control and efficiency compared to earlier pusher designs.
This aircraft marked a significant step in Roe’s experiments, helping establish the Avro company - which later produced legendary planes like the Lancaster bomber. A replica, featured in “Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines,” still flies at the Shuttleworth Collection, giving a glimpse into Edwardian aviation innovation.
The Blackburn B.2 G-AEBJ is a rare sight in the air - a 1930s trainer with elegant lines and agile performance. Originally designed as a basic trainer for the RAF, the B.2 never entered mass service but stood out for its robust build and stable flying characteristics. This beautifully restored example is part of the Shuttleworth Collection and regularly takes to the skies in flying displays, showing just how charming and capable these interwar designs could be.
The classic Avro Anson captured in mid-flight, leaving a trail of smoke during its airshow display. First flown in 1935, the Anson was a versatile twin-engined aircraft used for coastal reconnaissance, transport, and training. Today, it’s a rare sight in the skies, and seeing one flying is a real treat for enthusiasts - a reminder of Britain’s aviation heritage and the aircraft’s long service history.

In between Covid lockdowns last year I escaped to the first local airshow for a long-time 10 years to be exact. My son asked me to go which was really nice. I took him when he was young & he remembered it :)
This is a bit different for me, and I know it's a niche interest, and there are serious plane (train, car etc) buffs out there, but I can confirm these are definitely planes. And specifically flying ones, yellow ones, orange ones and red ones. You are welcome.
I still don't understand how planes can possibly fly? Or for that matter, how is it possible for a boat to float? And why is it not possible to plug a USB in right side up first try ever? Ever! Or why sloths can hold their breathe longer than dolphins. Or why you can't hum while holding your nose. So many impossibilities in this magical world of ours.
Anyway, happy Friday out there :)
PS ... any success at humming, I know you tried?
Harris's hawk (Parabuteo unicinctus), formerly known as the bay-winged hawk, dusky hawk, and sometimes a wolf hawk, and known in Latin America as peuco, is a medium-large bird of prey that breeds from the southwestern United States south to Chile, central Argentina, and Brazil. This bird is sometimes reported to be at large in Western Europe, especially Britain, but it is a popular species in falconry and these records almost invariably all refer to escapes from cavity.
The Scottish Deer Centre is a 55-acre (22 ha) zoological park near Cupar in Fife, Scotland.
The attraction is set on the estate of Over Rankeilour, at the former Over Rankeilour Farm close to the hamlet of the Bow of Fife. Opened in 1988 by the farm's owners, the centre attracted over 70,000 visitors in 2019, making it Fife's second most popular paid attraction behind St Andrews Castle. While opened primarily as a working deer farm with entertainment for the public, it now focuses on conservation, education and research as a member of BIAZA.
The Scottish Deer Centre is home to 12 species of deer, as well as wolves, wildcats, bears, otters and local wildlife. It also contains a bird of prey centre which offers daily shows, tours and experiences. A cafe, gift shop, and several activities such as go-karting are also available.
Le Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15 est l’un des chasseurs à réaction les plus emblématiques de l’après-Seconde Guerre mondiale.
Conçu par l’Union soviétique, il effectue son premier vol en 1947 et entre en service dès 1949.
Premier chasseur soviétique à ailes en flèche produit en grande série, il marque une rupture technologique majeure.
Propulsé par un turboréacteur Klimov VK-1, il atteint près de 1 000 km/h et peut évoluer à plus de 15 000 m d’altitude.
Son armement puissant, composé de canons de 23 mm et de 37 mm, le rend particulièrement redoutable.
Il se distingue lors de la guerre de Corée face aux chasseurs occidentaux, notamment le F-86 Sabre.
Produit à plus de 15 000 exemplaires, il équipe de nombreuses forces aériennes dans le monde.
Présent au meeting Air Legend 2024, le MiG-15 illustre l’âge d’or des premiers avions à réaction et l’héritage aéronautique de la Guerre froide.
