RAF Halton at Home Day and Queen's flypast 2008

Hi

A delightful day at RAF Halton in relaxed atmosphere.

The show opener was the Queen’s birthday fly past so a few images of them first.

The rest of the show was completely free but I will post a few of those images later.

I would just like to clear one thing up.

One of my images of the King Air gives the impression that it is inverted.

The photograph was taken at a point when the aircraft was doing a climbing high angle of bank turn. This combined with the angle at which I was viewing the aircraft (from behind) gives the impression that it is inverted which of course it was not.

The image is misleading.

The Jungmann was photographing the C47, hence the seemingly strange loitering at 1,500feet whilst the Dak ran in for a flypast, and a well judged dive to (briefly) bring them together long enough to bang off a few frames!

The shot of the 9 Tiger Moths brings back memories of the Diamond Nine days. Would be nice to see them back again but I understand their reasons for calling it a day.

Unfortunately, I only got to Halton by noon and missed most of the De Havilland arrivals.

Some more pics. I have not covered every act, though I would prefer to. Need some sleep.
