I don't think I've seen so many aircraft types in one place before, out side of an air show.
Sooooooooo glad Toyota made us get up for 9am

No Spitfire, so I suppose that as the Dakota airtests were delayed they concentrated on the Dak instead, not that I'm conplaining

Harrier visitor.






Bit of a brown trouser moment with the chppie, I'm pretty sure her didn't mean to go that low, a lot of extra throttle needed to clear the trees.






The Americans paid us a visit.






One for the mishaps thread










Then the French arrived.



And Cranwell



The Belgiums left






I got a ittle too close







And last but not least, Eastern Airways charter to Marham.


The light was really strange, hazy sun and clouds, so sorry most are silhouettes.

Loadsa aircraft. Thanks Helen

I thought you said you couldn't go!!!!

Nice pics!

[Hihonyr8811]

Well technically we couldn't, car had to go in to get the pedal looked at.
But as we were out anyway
Would have been a shame not to test it out to make sure it worked

[Cluny]

I booked the wrong wednesday off

[Hihonyr8811]

I know
I said to mum it was a shame you couldn't be there

[Mayfly]

have you seen anything flying about from Ex Low Rider over Lincoln Helen?

[Hihonyr8811]

Only the odd helicopter and Sentinel.

The Nimrod came over really low this morning but I don't think it's involved.
The F-16s have been going back to the Netherlands every day

I'm tempted ot have a look at Donna Nook next week

[Xplumberlives]

What does an ODD helicopter look like?

[Hihonyr8811]

Well doesn't that sum up every hellychopper

[Xplumberlives]

Are you not a fan of rotary aviation?

[Hihonyr8811]

I, erm, hmmmm, well, I like other forms of fligh better

Although I do like Blackhawks

[Xplumberlives]

What a curious life you lead!

[Jigsaw]

Well technically we couldn't, car had to go in to get the pedal looked at.

Is it easier to pedal now?

[Hihonyr8811]

Oh much better thanks

[Xplumberlives]

Must be much safer that way, your Mum will never get up to speed so will never need to rely on those dodgy Toyota brakes!

I know
I said to mum it was a shame you couldn't be there

At least the rain stayed away......................................
