For a change I decided to prepare and post my photos here again. Haven’t done that for awhile, due to lack of time… 🙁
Last weekend I visted Lydd airshow. I didn’t know what to expect and after a bit of a worrying start (30+ minute queue and an absolute tiny flightline with the runway very far away) I was very pleasantly surprised. The flying was good, varied and since the pilots didn’t have a runway to orient on they came much closer than usual.
Special mention should go to the enjoyable show of the Turbulents, the excellent display of the Blades and the spirited demonstration of the Hunter. But all the other items were good too and it was a thoroughly enjoyable show (with great lighting conditions for photographers).
I hope the organisation will be prepared for an even bigger crowd next year (i.e. more ticket offices and a larger flightline) as it was undoubtedly a great success that will hopefully be repeated!!
On to the photos… more on my website at http://skyraider3d.military-meshes.com/skyraider/photos/aircraft/lydd060909.htm

Fantastic pix skyraider, I was at the show but my little digi doesn’t produce anything like these.
They are also a great introduction to this site – I think I died and went to heaven :D:D

It was indeed.
The only thing… the commentators… they reminded me of Beavis & Butthead! 😀

Without a doubt a very nice looking machine.
Great airshow and cracking airfield.

Great shot of Janie, thanks… The Cessna in question was Maurice’s 172 G-DEMH

Thanks folks 🙂
Yak 11 Fan, I’m not sure if I follow, but I’m assuming you had your Cessna parked there? 🙂 What did it look like?
Especially for you another one of ‘Janie’:

Some cracking photos, it was a great day, but what about the poor Cessna that was the other side of the Tomahawk, did you not love that one?????
