simple really……….
what a lovely day.
cant wait till i have the (girlfriend infuriating) 7 rolls of film developed in the week…..
I havnt seen gnats display before, and they were superb….as was the meteor and the canberra.
shame the vixen is only ever going to display in bloody circles so you can only see the bottom of it, thats commercialisation for you. great aircraft, pity about the circumstances, I wonder if anyone took any photo’s of the complete 899 scheme they found underneath the Llanbedr scheme?
I thought I saw a Mew Gull arrive early on in the day, through an avenue of cars…or was aI mistaken, and what was with the red and white aircraft, I have to say I didnt get down to the anson/pembroke area…..but got some pics of them arriving.

the extras I think were flown brilliantly, just the way I’d want them to be flown to be honest with you. the pilots’ background dont lend to full on extreme 3d comp aero’s.
but I think they flew the gnats better!
same time same place……..

All in all a very enjoyable day out.
I hace some rough and ready photos Here
Getting in was easy although parking was a bit of a free for all with cub scouts trying to organise things, but it could have been worse.
I wasnt happy whjen the Large scale models were wheeled out, but boy was I wrong!! The Victor was quite magnificent.
The Real flying was good too, especiallty the time filler from the Hunter and Gants before the Reds, I must admit that the Extra Display to start the show was disappointing, you have the most agile aerobatic aircraft on the planet, and you display it like a Hunter. Still I can see what they were trying to do, if you want to encourage people to use your business to get to know aerobatics, showing them 9G tailslides isnt the best way to do it. 😀
It was the first time I have seen the Vixen in the flesh since the repaint, one word …Stunning!!
Same time next year everyone??
Edied to say I dont think the Extra display was poor per se, just that it didnt use the aircrafts abilites, not quite the Matadors but then they weren’t trying to be.
