I forgot to post these a few weeks back, but despite the delay and the fact the event is no longer relevant, I think a few of the images are still worthy of a post all on their own.
Trust me, the hairs were standing up on the back of my neck as this marvel of British Engineering flew over the house, and I mean right over the house.
I can’t even remember which of the two nearby air shows it was, but it must have done 3 laps of the air field during a display and each time it’s turning point on it’s approach back was directly over my back yard. The first time it came over I watched and listened in awe to the unmistakable sound of those engines, and then ran indoors to grab the first camera I could find in case it came back (for which I was rewarded).

The last image is a final shot of the plane as it headed away from the air show back North, North-West.
I know it’s taken at long range on maximum zoom (both mechanical and digital), but what struck me about this picture was the exact angle away from me that the plane flew. It was almost perfectly in a line with me. Every propeller and all of the tail is perfectly aligned. Boy did I wish I had a high definition camera with me that day.
Anyway, like a said, just a short post because it was worth it. It doesn’t need many words to support it, the pictures are the post.
