Not really sure what I have to offer after all the really quite fantastic pics already seen from this airshow from others, but here are some of mine anyway
Got to have some of the Vulcan!
Oh, and one of the reds. It was a really cracking display after all

The one immediately after the Blades pic (trust me the full size version of this is much better, but I really have to get the exposure sorted) is the Aerostars, a long running act using Yak-50s. Their displays are typically tight and interesting.
Just after that are two pics of a SA180 Silence Twister, part of the Swift Aerobatic team. They use one of three gliders, two of which are almost unbelievably aerobatic, the Twister, an Extra and a Piper Pawnee tug. Displays are never less than fascinating and those gliders have to be seen to be believed.
I was a little disappointed with my pics I have to say, with over 1000 taken only a handful were passable. Still, you live and learn. Partly the problems are with my equipment, but 90% is (to borrow and corrupt a sailing phrase) the nut on the end of the eyepiece.

The ones after the Blades look interesting – who were they? and what are the aircraft
