Darren, could’t agree more, ‘raspberry ripple’ certainly makes photography easy against a dull sky, and the guy flies it so well taking it sooooo near its limits, which is nice to see and hear at times.

Great last shot. I’m not overly fond of classic military aircraft painted up like flying adverts, but that Hunter looks amazing.

Interesting to see the F-16 using flares, I am guessing as its over water the caa ban doesn’t count!
great pics by the way.

Don’t worry – you’re not safe indoors either. I got struck by lightning at my desk yesterday through the window, had to be ambulanced to A&E but got the all-clear later. Interesting experience…
It seems it dosn’t matter where you are!
Great shots by the way.

Manston Airport. Yes I can see why you think the spit is from BBMF, but it is in fact Caroline Grace’s two seater ! Thank you for your comment.

Old Fart. Sorry I did not stay untill the very end, rainwater was running from every orifice ! but as I walked back to my car the vampire and jet provost were displaying, so I assume things carried on ? As for the lightning strike on the F-16 could they be confused with a spectacular display of flares ? see below.
