Photographer’s remark

9J-PAA Now this is a very rare sight indeed, with all 3 aircraft variants operated by Phoebus, lined up on rwy 29 awaiting their clearances for take-off to participate in the mass radial flypast. Don't know anywhere else on earth in this day and age where one can see the only current flying Carvair, a DC-4 and a DC-3 in one shot and all in flying condition. A highlight of the show and my day.
