Well it started dull and ended with us pushing aircraft away in the lovely mid-summer evening light. But the superb gliding display by Frank Chapman in the Dagling/SG38/Eon Primary. Fifteen hundred feet in the aviation equivalent of the g-string! Rather him than me.
On with the show, which was preceded by a flypast from the Red Arrows, this coincided with the least heaviest cloud of the day.
The Vehicle parade, always good fun.

Superb shots as always, Nick, and thanks for posting. I was beginning to think that I would have to post a couple of not-very-good shots from my Panasonic compact to record what I believe is the first display appearance of the Dagling at Shuttleworth. If I heard the commentator correctly, the pilot’s day job is flight testing Airbus A380 aircraft; one can only marvel at his great skill (but he should have worn longer socks).

the image limit on this board is a right royal PITA
on to the Dagling
air on a G-String!
perfect landing
lets hear it for the ground crews and all the back room staff.
when this left, the airfield looked a bit Spartan.
Next display is on July 5th.
