Spent a pleasant day in Lincolnshire watching the arrivals for this weekends airshow at Waddington. The highlight of the show for me was to have been the Dutch Constellation, but that’s still not ready unfortunately.
Still, a fair smattering of historics (and soon to be historics!) mixed in with the more modern stuff.

as – Neil h – the Vampire arrived at 13:51 on Friday (assuming the clock on my camera is set right that is! 😀 )
Yeah, that sounds about right, it was a rough guess when I said 2pm.
It flew over again today in the opposite direction.

A Nikon D100 with a Sigma 50-500 for the flying stuff Ray, and a Nikkor 12-24 for the statics.
🙂 I’m going to have to spend some money…

Nice pics, Gareth,
What’s the camera and lens?

Cheers everyone, I tend to think of Phantoms as historics now! – Neil h – the Vampire arrived at 13:51 on Friday (assuming the clock on my camera is set right that is! 😀 )
Think we got a better look at the typhoon doing circuits yesterday than today, a couple of passes and it disappeared into the murk and was gone!
Stringbag – just seen your other post, see why there was so many now! Pity they weren’t flying, would have been nice way to mark their 50th. Is their anything else planned?
Here’s another couple of JPs from today that I didn’t see on arrivals day.

What time did the vampire arrive? A Vampire flew over my place of work in Leics about 2pm yesterday afternoon. I wondered if it was on its way to Waddington.

Thanks guys. It’s a rather special weekend for the JP 😉

I thought the Cat was down for the flying display and yet they stuck it in the static. I really hope it will be displaying. Where are you watching the display from tomorrow? Roadside tomorrow and then on base sunday for me.
Wonder if the cat will be taking the Connie’s place then? (static Sat, flying Sun).
Going to the show tomorrow, can’t get Sunday since I’m working. Typical really, Sundays tipped for the best weather!! :rolleyes:

Never noticed the sun at the time – but I am now!! 😮 😮
Pity they towed the cat around wasn’t it? Was hoping to get some taxi shots.

Hi Gareth, I was up there today too. Got sunburnt like a real idiot 🙁
We probably passed by each other at some point.
