My local airshow

[hammered]

Or at least some of the more interesting bits . We have a 2 day free airshow here every year, the weather this year was overcast so the program today was a bit subdued. At least the Vulcan bomber made an appearance , enjoy the pics.

The first 2 pics are of the beautiful P51



The next 3 pics are of a couple of Tornados, these were a suprise last minute appearance





The last 5 are of the Vulcan bomber, a beautiful plane and a beautiful sound

Bob, your shots are just as good . Interestingly, I took shelter in a friends seafront shop that day, and his late father used to be a navigator on that particular Vulcan. One of the shots I took impressed him enough that he is going to have it printed in A2 format and hung in his shop, honor indeed for me

How did you get those jets to slow down for your picture

Honestly, the RAF has some nerve buzzing those poor people. I bet they didn't know which way was up after the second pass

I haven't gone to an airshow in years, too many accidents almost every year. I don't feel like making the news that way.

Number 1. I called up the RAF and told them all I had was a Box Brownie and could they fly past at about 2 mph. They complained at first, but when I pointed out that I had voted for the Jedi party in the last election they said they would order their pilots to fly slow. Added to which they would save fuel, it was a no brainer

Number 2. They buzzed the people and houses cos they were pissed at having to fly slow just for me

Number 4. I have forgotten about Number 3

Number 5. What was I talking about

Number 6. We don't have accidents here, we can't afford it
