So then, on to the main reason we were at RAF Coningsby, the BBMF getting their displays checked out and signed off by their AOC.

Fantastic day out. Two hours of displays and fly-pasts by the BBMF, you wouldn't get that if you paid for an airshow!

Thank you Gentlemen
Just one point, if I was taking photo's from a similar location at a well known Cambridgeshire Warbird Airfield I would have been berated for being in the NAUGHTY FIELD!
Funny old game isn't it!
