B52 landing at Duxford:

I think you can see the moment when it gained those ripples in the fuselage behind the c0ckpit…

… I think it should be scrapped and just post in the appropriate forum.

Love the Hurricane pics and agree with the above sentiment. Thanks for sharing both 🙂

And if it was your wife with no interest in planes with the two yapping dogs who sat next to us we would just like to thank you for making our day.

Was that up the top, near the wooden railings? I nipped up there during the Reds’ display, in case I could get a photo as one of them bounced the cliffs as happened in the last two years. Sadly they didn’t, but I reckon it was a good thing in the end as those two dogs would have gone utterly mental if they had!

Had a great day on Beachy head today – busier than I’ve ever seen it before but everyone seemed to have a good time.

The Vulcan was pretty breath-taking but others also treated us to some nice flypasts.

Thanks for posting Phil, some very nice photos there! I wasn’t able to get to RIAT so it’s great to see what they got up to.

I particularly like the shot of the Synchro Pair (Spit and Typhoon) and also the Vulcan landing – that’s a sight you don’t see very often!

I wonder if that’s the last time we’ll see the Red Arrows and Vulcan flying together?

Beautiful photos, David.

Old Warden just seems to lend itself to those sort of photo’s doesn’t it? – of course it’s got *nothing* to do with your lensmanship 😉

What is that first aircraft? – I don’t remember seeing it at OW a couple of weeks back…

Keep snapping and we’ll keep enjoying.

Chaps, while I agree that the XH558 headline is misleading, I think you have to be a little careful in which direction you aim your rants.

Unless I’m mistaken, quite a few of the inaccurate bits of journalism quoted earlier in this thread, are actually from other news outlets, and not the BBC.

In my opinion we are extremely lucky to have an impartial news source such as BBC News (which is a separate entity to the rest of the BBC) in this country.

The BBC, and BBC News have faced drastic cuts in their funding over the last government, and its not getting any better with this one. This headline is the sort of thing you get when there’s too much work and not enough resources to do it accurately. You might find that an email to the relevant person , correcting them with the facts would clear this up.

For many people I think it’s a case of not knowing what you have until it’s gone. This country would certainly be a lot worse off if we only had Fox / Sky / Mail Online etc to rely on. I’m certainly not happy trusting news from an organisation which has its own political and economic axe to grind – at least with the BBC mistakes are honest ones.
