A BUSY DAY PRESTWICK 31-08-2013

Went down to prestwick on saturday for the fly in and the red arrows as they were doing an airshow in Portrush N/ireland, the weather at the start of the day was quite windy then low and behold it started to rain but after a brief few showers it brightened up,I was disapointed at there not being a fly-in but the ones i wanted to see were the reds and as at prestwick you can never tell what is going to show up, so there were a few surprises for me anyway here is my shots from saturday.

First up :
