Royal International Air Tattoo 2014
Posted: 18 Jul 2014, 13:23
This year I was part of the Air Cadet staff team volunteering around the showground. I still had plenty of time for picture taking though. The weather was hot & humid most of the time, the saturday was almost unbearable at times as we were on the crowd line with no shade until late in the afternoon when some umbrellas were dished out.
This was meant to be the debut of the F35 Lightning II, however an engine fire prevented that to happen. It hasn't made the Farnborough trade show either even though they are now operational again. However there was still plenty to ogle & drool at there, the Polish SU22's, Hellenic Corsairs & the Textron AirLand Scorpion spring to mind. The Italians were there in force as well, it probably should've been renamed the Royal Italian Air Tattoo, not that I'm complaining at all
Anyway enjoy....
