Machinery Centenary of Military Aviation

Centenary of Military Aviation · 07:43 AM

The RAAF hosted an air show the weekend before last to celebrate the "Centenary of Military Aviation" here in Australia. The Bristol Box Kite first Australian Military Aviation flight took place here at Point Cook Air Base. A replica of the box kite has been built here at the Air Museum and was flying in the show, unfortunately due to a bit of a kerfuffle with ticketing & parking I was a little late getting in and missed the flight

I've been a bit busy and haven't had the time to edit the shots in a timely fashion as some shots needed quite a bit of work due to the changing weather conditions throughout the day and my casual attitude to it all

, "she'll be right, I'll fix it all in pp."

Right on cue, just as the arival of the BAE Hawk was announced .....

Nice shooting. The Box Kite looks a little like a Wright Flyer with ailerons.

Very nice shots Mate, I recall a few of those planes myself.

thanks Bob, the work's been done on these ones, some were ok but many were dark & needed correction & lots more to work on

cheers

Thanks for sharing! A lot of airshows here have really declined in variety over the past decade.

Beautiful shots! I just adore the Pup, love those old biplanes.
