Had a really good time at the Bruntingthorpe today, also included a lovely flypast from a Spitfire & a very unexpected visitor. Anyway, enjoy

Great shots, Dan

Thanks guys.

The weather was most unbritish today as it was very nice indeed. It's the first time i've photographed aircraft with the sun out

Nice set of shots Dan, wish I could have been there. That Bucc is looking nice and spangly - almost new

Interesting to note that the Victor stayed on the ground this year, much to the relief of all concerned.

Anybody worked out what air force the JP used to belong to yet. It took the commentator 5 or 6 attempts before he got it right

I believe it is South Yemen, or as it was called when established South Arabia.

Very good indeed!
The Spit was a PR.XIX, right?
