They say bad news travels in threes. Sadly looking like a third airliner down.
At least they can find her which is something.

What is it with Russia and the world. Have we not progressed at all as a species?
All these events over the last two years suggest not.

16:40 (ish) a low level Boeing Dreamliner doing a right angle turn over the Blackwater relief road near Farnborough while a
Red Arrow on a low loader passed underneath.

XS568 – poor thing :apologetic:

A nice insurance claim which will hopefully pay for it’s repair.
Still sad though and annoying for the owners.

Unfortunately there just aren’t the modern aircraft types or money to bring them to the UK that their used to be.
As to the queues getting out. I can remember having to queue 2 hours just to get in! Not to mention just as long for the portaloos 🙂

Personally I find it easiest just to fork out a few quid each year for Steve Connor’s consistently excellent DVD of the event, rather than try to shoot the type of endless, rather tedious and amateurish single vantage-point videos that are plastered all over the web shortly afterwards.

When I was on holiday in Vancouver I took a trip to Victoria to watch the Orcas.
Our guide said to us “Don’t take pictures. Watch and experience the splendor of these animals and take back memories.”
Since then I have taken very few photographs during an airshow.
Staring through the viewfinder all day takes something away from the experience. Recommend everyone tries it.
