I’m Sorry if I sounded a little harsh yesterday Everton_1878, I can assure you that I was not attacking you personally so please accept my apologies.
As you will have detected I was very saddened by the whole affair.

Apolgy accepted of course
I understand emotions were probably running high over such a tragedy
I responded in the heat of the moment to as I was a bit hurt by one of the comments made in the thread

A sad time, made even worse in this year of celebrating the achievements of 100 years of flight

Some of my pictures from the Sunday can be viewed here if anyone wants to take a look

I am sure Philo and the others meant nothing personal by why they said but rather they were finding it a little difficult understanding how someone could post how they didnt see an aircraft perform after wistnessing such a tragic event. As I said I am sure they didnt mean anything nasty by it.

To all the others. I understand where Everton_1878 was coming from and he really wasnt moaning about not seeing aircraft just pointing out that he didnt see the other aircraft perform.

I wouldnt like to see anyone not go to an airshow just because an accident happend but I do understand that it can be alltogether too much for some people to take so we must respect their feeling and let them decide. Other then that I think Kev put it perfectly.

As always Kev.

Thanks
Yes it is difficult to go to the next one after a tradgedy like that

Tends to be in my mind when I go to one, often saying to myself “please all stay in the air”

Quite frankly the Press Pass brigade were a pain, even setting up there gear ON an active taxiway and wandering around aircraft with engines running with no sense of danger to themselves or others They seemed to have not an ounce of common sense. I think they should be banned from the active side.

The official photographers were always getting in the way, stopped talking in front of the ac
Almost as bad as Duxford :p

Did they run any engines on the Shackleton?

Whats it look like these days? I seem to remember it was looking a bit ‘tired’ at the last show.

Twice on Sunday
Was there at the 11am running
All 4 engines going, great sound!

Look ok, although the top surface of the wings looked a bit “worn”

Will post a few pics I took with my digi cam soon

Corgi Aviation Heritage Centre was nice and cheap 🙂

Been to their shop in Manchester, its quite good but take the prices with you from the website as they are sometimes cheaper

Picked up a Tornado for £20

Pictures from Coventry to follow (mainly statics with my digital)
