I stand corrected, it was to celebrate 37 years of the Pegasus engine and the handing over of the last one from RR to the RAF.
I think the C130 was acting as a photoship, but can’t confim it.
Ken,
We’re practically neighbours!

I think she looks great. A credit to all those her invested so much time and money in restoring her.
Thanks for posting.
Kilvy
Yep, got me there! 🙂
It’s just a bit annoying when we couldn’t move around here for TV crews after the terrible crash that claimed XV179 and her crew, then you get that kind of lazy journalism this evening. Just seem a bit disrespectful, don’t know why.
The formation was quite impressive though, although I was treated as an anorak for the rest of the afternoon after running across the office to get a better view 😀 .
cheers

It’s just been on Points West.
It was a special flypast, 2 x Spitfire, SHAR and a GR7 escorted by …… wait for it……a Hercules Bomber! Why is local telly always so crap? 🙂
It was to mark 30 years of the Pegasus engine.

Great shots….
This is another event that I must make it to! I’ll add it to the list,, Legends, Old Warden, Goodwood etc etc etc 😀
Thanks for sharing
Kilvy
Cheers everybody.
There were plenty of people at the western end but not many with cameras. I did intend to go to the other end but couldn’t get there with the traffic. Glad I stuck around for the big finish.

Nice shots Ken,
I think Wessex Fan is right, we were all crammed in that 10 x 10 area beyond the VIP tent!
I did wander off at lunchtime (in search of a toilet! :)), and found myself in a field at the western end of the runway. Not the greatest spot but got some nice shots of the Sea Vixen and a different view of the Commando assault ‘re-supply area’.
cheers all

YeovilTower,
I may have been guilty of a bit of a moan, but as i said I did enjoy the day:)
It’s not my first Yeovilton, and it certainly won’t be my last. Rest assured that this enthusiast certainly appreciates all the hard work. Actually though I like the September slot, it rounds of the year nicely for me. 😀
The Hunter just edged the best display for me but the SAA Jumbo was spectacular, must have been impressive from the tower. 😀

Hunter!!!
I didn’t shoot many from the crowdline, the sun was just too difficult. The Hunter was superb though. 😀





I came from the A303 Wincanton direction, and in previous years have been parked at the Eastern edge of the airfield, but this year I think that was where the access to the VIP/Press pavilions was. 😉
cheers all

Flanker Man,
I definately agree with your comment about the water tower!!! 🙂
