It was certainly worth the journey.
Were you actually at the show today or were you looking over the fence??
This pillock spent the show perched on a ladder right under the approach to the runway. This hedge has been clipped on a few occasions, it’s simply not somewhere to freeload from.

The Vulcan topside stands out as the top shot in the set.
Lovely Meteor photos.
A lovely, sharp set of photos.
