Think it was to do with Trooping the colour in London there was going to be flypast but i am not sure what be involved.
My grandad died of Alzheimers too, so I can vouch for all those expressing sympathy for his family. A disgustingly destructive disease. 🙁
Its a evil illness kills the mind but lets body live on cruel in everyway.
I was never a fan of him or Thatcher nor will i miss him but i hope he R.I.P.
Jaques taking off for public debut
think it Russ Sneddon not sure of anymore though
Love the shot of the Fiat taking off – pity they couldn’t have parked the trikes behind that bush though!
I would not mind trying to edit them out but they are part of the photo sadly,i am going to post a few more photos that give a view of what was a great day and the first Airshow i have done on my own.
I would agree with all of Willows comments,a good display sequence and nice to see the aircraft in all its glory without being too aerobatically OTT.
Second time I have see ‘Jaques’ out in public this year, nice aircraft with an incredible history. Lets see a lot more of her please display organisers.
I was lucky enough to see the Jaques at Sandown i did not know it was the first time he had displayed,I was impressed with the display which was very different from BBD or Janie who displayed more aerobatically,I was nice to see a different style of display,The photo a attached shows a top side view although not that well do to my photography not ‘Jaques’ i must add.The other 2 photos go to show what a high quality job has been done on her to make her look so good.
I am quiet proud of some photos i have taken recently i am still learn how use my camera well its only year old and just got ladapter lense few days before Southend.I am never going to be as good as some of the guys here and i am proud to get any good photo when i can.
I know that I sometimes appear negative but…
Is it possible we don’t use phrases such as “Hurricane down at DX” for example.
1) It is incorrect and
2) Having used such a phrase it is somewhat ironic to then criticise the press.At the end of the day this was a minor incident (unless you have to foot the bill) of which the AAIB are full of for light aircraft. The inference of the thread title really suggests something else.
Just a thought.
I agree saying Hurricane down implies something much worse than this incident,I hope she fly again soon sad seeing her like that.
I have posted some sandown photos in another thread see you all at Duxford those who are going,I be at Duxford around 12.
Here are a few of my photos from Sandown show was a great day out and a great show.
Anyone text me if your at Duxford Sunday my number is 0797 7767119
I had first chose not to show any of my photos from Southend mainly as i am not sure they are that good,But your photos of the Aerostars have inspired me to show my photos of the and of Miss d also.
Not all of us do, I like CW & earlier jets, such as the Vulcan, Lightning, Hunter, Vampire, Venom, etc…. Love ’em!
Modern ones, just don’t have the same sort of presence, for me, though.
My favourite day out is a trip to Kemble.
I also love jets the Hunter in particular is a favourite of mine,Modern jets do not have same character as a Spitfire or a Hunter,I don’t shun jets just not talk on them so much.
I am so glad that so many operators come here to inform us properly.
“Rasta Cat” is great and Paul and Planesailing should be complemented for there good work.
A publication such as them should know better and i am shocked by the disrespect and lack of care for Ray’s feelings.
