😀 😀 😀 Has he a spare seat? LMAO 😀

I hope not, you don’t need excess weight in a glider !!!!! 😉

I, however, have several – and not a winged thing in sight.

So that’s why he was in such a hurry as he arrived (GR.7 I mean) – thundering about at 650+ knots (it must have been – he had trouble stopping) – it’s enough to wake you up.

Unfortunately, I’m somewhat blaise about Harrier’s you see so many of them, they become just another grey (or black) noisy blob. Now I’ve only seen the PP a few times before – I know it’s not exciting, but I don’t think there are quite so many around – well there you go.

Anyway, another few to look at:

In that case, I’ll prep some more this evening.

😉 You’ll see soon enough.

Sorry Lee, No. I live in Plymouth – I’m actually still trying to recover from the trip – it has left me feeling very very tired. I slept until 11am, and my legs will hardly carry me round my flat today. Even though I spent £3 on a grandstand seat (a great idea, every airshow should have them – so long as they make sure that the website quotes the correct price).

I know it’s a lovely day today, but I can hardly move.

The PP was due to display, it was certainly on the list.

Actually, I was quite disappointed by the show as a whole; the visiting Hunters didn’t display, in fact very few non-service items displayed. There was no Tornado or Typhoon, for instance. None of the Hunters flew, the helicopter displays seemed to be a lot less than normal. No Chinook, for instance. No Sea Vixen.

The Culdrose Airday seemed to be a shadow of previous years.

It could do with a bit of colour, Anna 🙂 – but, of course, the airmanship was great – a lovely performance – shame it was so short really.

One thing I haven’t really captured in the glider shots, is the lovelly patterns produced by the smoke, as he wheels her around the sky. Note to self: must try harder.
