A few from this evenings arrival for the Blackbushe Air Day which takes place on Saturday.

First time of seeing the Grumman HU-16B Albatross and it looks pretty awesome.

I'll add a few more after the show.

Great shots of this magnificent old Aircraft.
I guess the tenuous link of being ex-Military allows this to be posted here? (Served in the USAF as SA-16B 51-7186)
I was really looking forward to this aircraft being at the postponed Abingdon Event. Hope to catch it Saturday anyway!

Great shots of a lovely old beastie, Steve

Nice shots, thanks for sharing these with us.

Great photos.

There isn't a rule with military aircraft at an Airshow & Events thread being posted..

Great shots of a unique looking aircraft

Good information that I'd missed. Probably just as well that facility exists as the content of most Airshows becomes increasingly Civil-based or ex-Mil civil.

Splendid shots of this magnificent machine. I hope we get see more of Albert Ross this Summer (what's left of it). Be a real coup if it showed up at Sywell

Great shots of the albatross !!
