Impressive !

Someone directed me to this site, it’s more fiddly than PB, but it seems to work ok for posting the odd picture.
I have set up a Flickr account, but I can’t say that I particularly like it.

Just need to resize the photos first 🙂 On balance, I think “PostImage” is probably the better option for me.

We were at Minsmere last Friday, it was a bit blowy for walking on the beach though.
Then again, if I’d known I may have braved it 🙂

Well done to all of those involved.

Clearly the Thunderbirds obtain their smoke from Fords, you can have any color as long as it is white.

I must say that I prefer the white smoke as opposed to colour. I remember on year at Mildenhall, the Reds arrived back from Southend doing a low pass with smoke on.
As there was little or no wind, a muddy brown smoke hung around for ages. Colour might be ok when going over Buck House, but I don’t think it adds anything to their display,
certainly not in the volume they produce it. Not of course that they use colour all of the time.
On another point, The Red Arrows are promoted as an aerobatic team, where I believe the Tbirds use the term Flight Demonstration Team, flying extremely close to each other.

My favourites by far, are the Frecce Tricolori, even with their colourful smoke. They are helped by having aircraft more suited to aerobatics.

We shall stick with our yearly pass.
