Thunderbolt

I've had a fantastic day at the Shuttleworth Collection Military Airshow. This Republic Thunderbolt P-47D Nellie B is an absolute brute of an aircraft weighing in at 7.5 tons with a 2000hp engine.


The real show stopper was the sight of seven Hurricanes flying in formation. The first time that this number have been seen flying together in the UK since 1946. (extra)
