    Andrew, as JDK say, folks are looking and liking. You are showing a different side of the Fairford show. Don’t be put off.

    You lucky thing, I always seem to miss Chinooks, or don’t have a camera when they are there.
    A few years ago I was hill walking above Arrochar on Beinn Narnain, a chinook that had been buzzing around landed on the next hilltop along, guess who didn’t have a camera!

    Did someone mention a Dan-Air Comet? (East Fortune last week)

    What PL didn’t say about hte Comet at East Fortune is:

    ‘G-BDIX’ was initially built for RAF Transport Command as Comet C.4 XR399. Retired from RAF service as their last passenger-carrying Comet in 1975, the aircraft was sold on to Dan Air London who retired the aircraft in 1980. It was the last Comet to fly in commercial colours when it flew from Lasham, Hampshire to East Fortune in September 1981.

    The current (August 2004) Todays Pilot has an interesting article about the cub. Quite liked the warning about not being too heavy on the brakes, in case the tyres slip and rip the valve!

    Kev, all the best. You bring a touch of common sense to this sometimes madhouse. Don’t go too far away.

    Best wishes

    … camera man legging it quickly to the refreshment marquee, downing a large double whisky and taking the rest of the day off. 😮

    I wonder if just spotting you in the sky is cause for a mayday
    call? 😀

    If he’s on his own then probably, since he is only 16 according to his profile 😮

    shows classic symptoms of camera shake, you need to get the shutter speed up
