I really like the Lanc over the trees.

I once heard him on tv refute an accusation of racism by saying something along the lines of that his act cannot be considered racist as the jokes covered every race, creed ,colour and religeon – not just black people – and he said it with utter belief and conviction !!
I saw that too, note he never made jokes about white working class people from the north of England though.

Good stuff
I like the three Strikemasters
Neal
All versions of Strikemaster and JetProvost are currently banned from performing any aerobatic manouvres due to a recent accident where a Strikemaster shed a wing with fatal consequences. I expect it was felt that it wasn’t worthwhile for the Strikey to simply do a few straight and level passes.
Yeah I know about the ban.
It would have had no choice to do anything other than straight and level anyway during the first half of the display.:D

Cheers
Nice pics Rob
I didn’t manage to get a single decent shot of the Huey.

Nice pics
I enjoyed the display but my only gripe(albeit a very minor one) is I also think more jets would’ve helped. I would like to have seen flying examples of some of the exhibits in the new cold war museum, Hunter, Sabre, Meteor, that sort of thing. Shame about the Canberra. Also would’ve been good to see one of those Strikemasters in the static display actually flying.

That Hurricane is lovely
Great stuff Darren.
The first Hurricane shot and the Blackburn are my faves.
Neal
Last five
There was no Hercules available for the Falcons to jump from(although there was one in the role demo) so the team jumped from the BBMF Dakota. Sadly the team jumped when the Dak was behind the only bit of cloud in the sky and we didn’t see them leave the aircraft.




Denny flew a great display.

Neal
A few more then.
A nice display by Anna Walker.
From the RAF role demo which went down well.




The show was brought to a close by the Blades
All in all a good show with an appreciative crowd who gave many acts a spontanious round of applause on landing.
The Reds performed a flat display but were then limited even further by two airspace infringements at the start of their second half. They waited for a hang glider and a microlight to clear but then fuel was an issue so they performed the vixen break and returned to Shawbury.
Also Canberra WK163 was a no show and was to be replaced by Peter Vachers Hurricane but sadly that went tech too.

No need to fear posting photos like that. Good stuff

Cracking photos again Darren.
I really like the Cub, the 2 Ryans and the third Provost shot.
Neal
Great stuff Darren.
I like the second photo.
