Dragons, griffins, vampires and thunderbolts

Zonked again by hay-fever.



First stop was an airforce museum. There were several aircraft on display, including a Vampire like the RNZAF used to fly. It is surprisingly small for a jet aircraft, even an early one.

Saab 1940's J21 pusher plane. Early ejector seat because of the pusher prop. The museum is trying to get this flying for the 100th anniversary of the airforce.

Vampire. I remember these flying over school when I was a kid

Viggen

Pretending to be a top gun


Our lunch stop on a lakeside in the middle of nowhere

The water was very shallow and still quite warm 

Our stopover. It had been a perfect day weather wise, and we had a quiet park at a marina.

There's a murder of crows in this picture if you look hard enough

A picturesque finish to a nice day
