Shoreham – Saturday with something new

I saw these rehearsing as I arrived and as a former glider pilot it made my rear end feel uncomfortable…That tow rope is only a few feet below the one in front

Otherwise the show felt a bit flat – possibly due to the low cloud which caused the parachutists to cancal and the BBMF Lancaster to clear off after a couple of passes as cloudbase was below its display limits and perhaps because I had seen some of the displays at Dunsfold last week.
Anyway here’s a few
Peter Teichmann flew with usual verve

Guy Westgate’s display was limited by the low cloud but still spectacular at the end

but the Tornadoes only gave us a couple of noisy passes and only came past as singletons when fully swept
