    She flew a great display as has been said by others. I’d certainly say it was the best I’ve seen since her last ‘in-service’ Finningley visit. The spiral climb is a great addition to the routine, and another excuse for a howl! 😀

    Very nice. I must get down there to see 655 do her stuff again.

    Very nice. As Ben said, a far better show than the line-up suggested.

    I don’t know if the ‘home team’ upped their game given their American visitors, but they flew one of the tightest, most impressive routines I’ve seen from them yet

    Helicopter time

    Impressive though it was, the Chinook’s display knocked it in to a cocked hat. Imagine a ballet dancing truck…

    Very nice. The p********h of the ‘Rod leading the station flypast out is nice to see, as I only saw this from the road while I was queueing to get in last year 🙁
    Why they can’t give the Nimrod the farewell she deserves this weekend is beyond me 😡
