Well it was worth a punt - but I'm sick of bloody grey aircraft against a grey sky ......

First 607 - still looking good - see we did have a bit of blue sky at one point!!

Typhoons & F3

Tristar & GR4s

GR4s & Nimrod R1

VC 10s

Well I went out to Surfleet Seas End and saw a very rag tag bunch of bits again grey on grey so not worth photographing!

SSE is only 23 mile from me XP may have to meet you there next year. Was it straight fly through or did you see them forming up?

by **Xplumberlives** » Wed Jun 09, 2010 2:58 pm

Some were formed up, Sentinel and two Bae 125s, the Tornado's were all over the place!

This is the 51 Sqn Nimrod that went over me first!

Next year we will go further inland towards Grantham!

When we got to Coningsby it was warm and sunny =))

Havn't had a chance to look through what I got on my camera yet, I only filmed a tiny bit, so probably nothing much =))

I thought the same Helen - when I got home we had blue skies & it was lovely - we have however had another heavy downpour since!!!

by **Hihonyr8811** » Wed Jun 09, 2010 5:59 pm

Yeah, when it started to thunder and rain we ecided to call it a day =))

Poor Hawk had to cut his circuits short

by **Xplumberlives** » Wed Jun 09, 2010 6:15 pm

Short circuits, must have been the rain!

Maybe they too were struggling with the grey skys, making it difficult to see each other

Looking at the maps I think we need to be in the area between Sleaford and Waddington.

by **Hihonyr8811** » Wed Jun 09, 2010 10:06 pm

With quite a bit extra tagged onto the end =))

by **Mayfly** » Thu Jun 10, 2010 6:39 am

thanks Helen - the 2 typhoons at the end looked like their wing tips were attached on the runway! :))

No Lanc for Saturday

- they been unable to fix the undercarriage problem in time........

by **Hihonyr8811** » Fri Jun 11, 2010 8:28 am

Bet noone complains about her undrcarriage

Poor old girl, I hope they get her fixed soon, she's not had the best start to the air show season. Guess that means she'll miss Cosford too. And families day too

Bless her

Wonder if they'll send the Dakota

$\:D/$ $\:D/$

by **Mayfly** » Fri Jun 11, 2010 8:31 am
