D-Day in Tauranga

Hi all

Went to D-Day in Tauranga with one of the lads last weekend, highly enjoyed myself! Similar to last year's effort, they had recreations on the ground and in the air, plus "handling displays" from the various choppers that were just awesome! Yaks and Harvards did excellent aerial displays, the only issues were the Yak that had an engine failure the day before and landed in the golf course, and the ME108 which caught fire once it landed and parked up. Nothing major, thankfully.

Here's some snaps for you, random order as per usual

(photo geek details: taken with either a Nikon F5 + 300 f/4 + 1.4 TC, or a Nikon F80 + 80-200 f/2.8, both with Fuji Superia 400, using manual exposure metered off the grass, not that anyone cares :)

Suffice to say, I'm extremely pleased with how these images have come out. Please click on them and view them large!
