Yes, it’s a marvel if you get any decent photos at all from the seafront. It may be better up on the cliffs, or Smugglers Inn.

Dawlish is not the same as Branscombe, and at the moment it looks more like an RAF recruiting flypast, then an airshow.

I’ve been to Dawlish twice, and there really isn’t much to shout about. 🙁

Don’t get me wrong. Dawlish do a fantastic day out for Carnival day – but when compared to the range of aircraft you might see elsewhere, on it’s own the airshow is not a reason for the die-hard airshow enthusiast to attend.

Nevertheless, I’ll be going because it bridges the gap.

Culdrose is another matter.

Even so, my ambition of being able to see XH558 this year has been totally scuppered according to their events diary.

(Ooooh just got a nice new Logitech keyboard/mouse – it’s so much easier to work with, but I digress. Technika? – Blehh)
