My 'local' airshow and I cannot attend

A little matter of Little Miss Wedgy's 6th birthday party $\:D/$

Who from IA is going? (i.e. Who do I need to pester for photos to be posted here? =))

Down there helping with the Vulcan Village set up on Friday, but not at the show itself - Flying Legends is calling instead!

Always a good show.

I'll be the guy in the string vest with a knotted hankie on my head.

Chips when it's warm and sunny and ice cream when it's cold and wet.

We're a funny lot down in Ampshear. :ymblushing:

558 making her first approach yesterday evening at Yeovilton...

and then, as Gully says, a beautiful low missed approach, before going round to approach again for landing...

by **Wedgy** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 2:04 pm

Thanks for the pics

Looked like a gloomy weather day yesterday ... much the same today is appears

Fingers crossed the weather clears a little

558 display canx due to brake problems - what a disappointment for everyone

by **Saracenman** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 3:38 pm

BUM

by **Mayfly** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 3:41 pm

Don't worry SM I expect its DTs fault - it was last year :ymdevil:

by **Hungry Haggis** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 5:57 pm

Brake problems (you mean short legs)can't reach the pedals.

On A serious note BUM BuM Bum bum bum

by **Stevieboy** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 8:22 pm

Just back from Yeovilton.

The weather (low cloud) made it a difficult day for the organisers and the display aircraft with several displays being aborted and many not attempted (including some rotary :-o

) due to met. Also several aircraft going tech.

Still a good day out, and (believe it or not) I caught the sun. :ymblushing:

Some good displays, including the Sea Vixen, Jordanian Falcons and the Apache. :ymapplause:

I'm looking through my pictures to see if there's anything worth posting. =))

Good to meet up with Mackrick and Sad Sam among others too. B-)

Edit - 'ere you go (sorry but I'm not very good :((

)

by **Mayfly** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 8:26 pm

she looks so much better than she did..

by **Jigsaw** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 8:34 pm

I think those pics are brilliant.

by **Dan4th** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 9:02 pm

"Not very good..."

Yeah, right. If THAT'S not very good, then
very good must be unobtainable!

Thanks, SB!

Thanks Mr W. You'll regret encouraging me. A few statics (allthough the Skyraider and Rafale did get airborne).

by **Tom.com** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 9:58 pm

i saw 558 on her way there at lyneham yesterday

i was at yeoviton on wed

by **Saracenman** » Sun Jul 12, 2009 3:27 pm

nice snaps SB - thanks! :ymapplause:

from what i know of the met problems, I'm glad i was there on Friday! some seriously impressive helicopter stuff (including under-slung loads) - a cracking 'Phoon display - and a FLYING Vulcan

i hope the Village did well - it's a very impressive set up!

Got a few snaps from Yeovilton will sort them out later. Was rather busy so didn't get a chance to take to many. The Sea Vixen display was fantastic for a 1960's aircraft. And I agree with MF I much prefer the new colour scheme.

by **Mackrick** » Sun Jul 12, 2009 6:20 pm

A few shots of 558 from the weekend.

And the day ended as wet as it started ...
