Six shots from Thursday’s show. The air ambulance turned up for the display, only to be called away at the first pass.

The Vulcan was there, and I got some shots, but I hope to do some more at Little Gransden tomorrow. I was in the centre of the flight line, so good views either way.

The Hawk arrived unexpectedly at 4pm, the radio announcers were telling us that the Vulcan was about to appear!

Hope you get some great photographic conditions, and look forward to seeing your pics of XH558. I’ll be at Bruntingthorpe, sadly she’s not scheduled to do a flypast there. Looking forward to seeing her again at Duxford!

Some very nice shots there! No Vulcan? Did it display in the end. I did the Friday show & the weather was fine. I was thinking that your shots are nice & sharp & full frame, were you standing at the end of the pier?

Yeah great shots. Was the Hawk airborne in time?
