Here are ten of my shots from RIAT 2009 Sunday and the Lowestoft Air Festival Thursday.
RIAT on Sunday was a washout, but there were some excellent displays to be had. Great Hungarian Grippen display, and I managed to see the Vulcan in the air for the first time.
Lowestoft on Thursday was rain free until 20mins after the Red Arrows finale, when we had a thunderstorm. Red Arrows were at their usual best and the F-16 was special.

Nice shots Steve, a great selection from both shows, but that Red Arrows loop against the stormy sky is rather special!
Cheers,
Kev.
