2013 Hamilton Airshow - Photographs (Mid 20th Century)

On June 16, I attended our annual airshow at the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum. Every year it seems to be growing even larger, and it's been attracting more exotic aircraft, as well as tourists from around the world. It has been through many growing pains, but this years' was quite good, having probably some of the most impressive aircraft I've seen in the air including the Me262, Fw 190, and the only flying de Havilland Mosquito.

 

Without further ado, I will be sharing plenty of photographs of these specimen organized primarily by their country of origin. For example, the museum has many aircraft that served with the Royal Air Force, but were manufactured and designed by the United States (B-25 Mitchell, and PBY Catalina for example). Hope you find some entertainment out of it, I sure did.

That's all for now. I'll dump the miscellaneous photos of the WWI-era and Cold War era aircraft if they are desired.

 

As for actual little paragraphs to go along with the aircraft, in the future I shall do so with proper photographs organized by nationality much like my previous two armoured vehicle entries.

I like the little picture with the bombers and the fighters; looks like a miniature fighter escort XD
