What does this Prontaprint place charge? Here is Sweden I had a single A3 size colour print made from a high-res scan that I supplied on CD, and it cost me the equivalent of over 30 British pounds!
I would very much like to know if that sort of work is cheaper in the UK!

That’s where I got it from.
They were exercising as a pair, with occasional descents to pick up passengers. The accident happened while they were on such a descent.

As we English people say – Daniel is a jammy bu99er to get all those air-to-air trips!

You wouldn’t have got in to Linköping anyway, Entropy, it was invitation only. Fortunately for me, I have some good contacts!
I shall be putting some pix of the air display up on my Photobucket site soon, I’m overloaded with work just now!

My pictures on Photobucket (if the link works!)

Perhaps this should really be in the Military or Airshow Fora? Although the general heading is kind of Historic!

Here’s another picture – the Gripen departing trailing smoke and flame! Plenty of noise, too.

After appearing in that unique formation, each aircraft did an individual show – the Draken flitted about like an angry bee, while the Viggen (a 2-seater) demonstrated sheer brutal power, but finished up with a reverse-thrust-aided pirouette.
There were several large video cameras in operation, and I suspect there will be a promotional DVD eventually. I will use my contacts to try to find out, and see if it can be made publicly available (for my Forum friends, of course!). We were told that the formation was filmed air-to-air, and I can’t wait to see that!

There’s your answer, Bex – I knew SierraEchoFred of our Scandinavian “Aviation Mafia” would come up trumps in the end!
