Eastbourne Airshow 2007

Hi Guys,

These photos were taken from a very windy Beachy Head on Saturday, the highlight for me was the Oasis Hong Kong 747 coming in low round ‘ The Head’ 🙂 Hope you like the photos 🙂

Nobody seems to have taken any photos of the Hangar 11 aircraft in the Beachy Head area – anyone?

Stunning photos Jen! I assume you were firmly tied down as it was damned windy up there!

Did anyone get any shots of the BBMF Spitfire doing it’s low passes over the Warren Hill(?) and Beachy Head spectator car parks up near Beachy Head on Saturday? It nearly took the roof of a few cars each time ot flew over as it was in the hold waiting for the BBMF Hurricane to complete it’s slot.

The Hurricane was doing the same thing on Friday. Would love to have been in the car park both times but it is steep run to get up and down again.

I really love the BBMF Spit and Hurricane pair one and have to say the 747 looks just amazing at cliff top or should i say below cliff top height.

I swear the pilot was doing it deliberately, as he made sure he banked to give photographers up there his best side 😉 Thanks for thinking of those of us who weren’t down on the seafront sir! 🙂

Must try and download my photos and post any of the Spit that came out okay I was almost too stunned by the passes to keep my finger on the shutter button.

Lovely pics Jen.

I was almost blown over when I saw the Jumbo. It looked so low I thought for a moment it was coming out of Newhaven rather than Gatwick.

Cheers

Martin

I will post some of mine tomorrow evening sometime.
