Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Meaux Airshow 15 june 2014

Post by Niek »

On the 15th of June, the aerodrome of Meaux-Esbly (NE of Paris) hosted a small airshow to remember the Battle of the Marne that took place in the 1st WorldWar. Meaux-Esbly was used as an airfield during that battle. Nowadays it's a general aviation airfield, with 4! grass runways, owned by Aeroports de Paris.
Photography conditions during the show were challenging due to the sun turning into your face and the strong wind, which pushed clounds in front of the sun at the best moments.
Below an impression of a fun afternoon. Hope you like them.

Nice shots, well done!
I had to leave before the flying started, and just when I was leaving Cartouche Doree arrived. Can you confirm the serials for me please? From a distance (which is my excuse...) I thought I read:
F-SEYG
F-SEXP
113
141/F-xxZF
but the first three seem to be wrong.
Cheers,
