Now Margate
Nice and sunny. Aircraft further away than what would be at an inland show. Nevertheless decent participation. Other aircraft in display not shown here include the Blades, Red Arrows, Harrier and Hawk.
Sea Fury had to abort display mid through due to suspected bird strike.
RAF Canberra PR9 was based at Manston. Before the display saw it coming out of Manston in the mid distance seconds behind the Red Arrows.
Would have been nice if PR9 did a pass in front of us.
I left show before the Reds displayed at 4.30pm with the intention of going to Old Warden other way round M25. Got to South Mimms service station at 6.25pm so I would have made it just in time or shortly after.
I decided it would be rather cloudy so I did not commit myself to going up the A1.

Nice pics. Mustang Janie was at Margate as well today.
Thanks for reminding me Mike. Yes it was still humid earlier in the flying display but a breeze did develop with a passing (but hardly noticeable) very week cold front moving east to west.
Nice pics. The Reds web site have a fans page where you can email images. I think the last pic is best. Have a go.
These are even better Tonka shots TEEJ !
Very, very,very nice
Damien, Kurmitz and TEEJ
Thank you for your nice comments. Thank you for Damien for correcting me on the Canberra and I agree rather disappointing it did not turn up. I should have paid more attention to the souvenir programme. It does state PR9 in the souvenir programne but for some strange reason it has Air Atlantique underneath the entry! Definately meant to be RAF not A/A
Nice Tonka shot TEEJ

Classic Biggin
Great shots prticularly the Fortress and Mustang together.
Thank you for Damian and Skyraider your nice comments.
Nice shots. Saturday was rather depressing for me. My 30D died and my back up stopped autofocusing. Left airshow at 3pm. A one hour and twenty minute drive home and then to Petersfield and got my 30D replaced under retail guarantee.
Great pics. The Seafire an Sea Fury formation in particular.
