Cosford airshow 2013 (pic heavy)

[shaggy22]

This is the RAF's first major airshow of the season, & again we were blessed with very un-British, glorious weather.The only bad thing was the traffic on the M54 and surrounding roads, took some people 5 hours + to get in. The sun was unfortunately above & in front of the crowd-line making photography a little tricky, anyway enough excuses.

I will point out that its grass it's kicking up not dirt on my lens

This guy is insane, he landed it on a 35ft moving trailer behind a 4x4, and then took off from it.

The best display of the day for me was the Lynx again back on form

Very pleasing to see the Reds back as a 9 ship

The Chinook was a close second to the Lynx, very aggressively flown

Do we recognise the weapons operator, it's none other than Cpt Wales, otherwise known as Prince Harry.

This was easily the most surreal moment of the day. The Vulcan being flanked by the RV8TORS, very strange.
