Thanks guys was a trial run for the new lens think I am very slowly getting there but still need lessons so a photography course is on the cards.

Know what you mean Scott all show and no noise.

Be good to see your pics Paul from Sunday, hope the weather was better than we had on saturday morning, we got a bit wet

Clive, we had a chat with the pilots, nice guys, spoke a bit of english and we tried to have a look in the cockpit but there was a bit of a queue shame it was only a static aircraft though.

Agreed on that one, it is Fookin' loud!! The last time I saw it fly they only used one engine to keep the noise down.

Some cool photos ...were these taken on the Saturday as I went on he Sunday and have just posted some of my pics of the day. Agree with silversurfer that the A-10 is quiet but when it fires its gatling guns it is fantastic. Unfortunately they can't do that at civilian air show as they would wipe out most of the crowd and the airfield in one pass...as I watched it destroy half a hillside while in the forces so a very cool bit if kit I can tell you. But for sheer noise you can't be either the Vulcan or Typhoon at an air show.

Another thing has just struck me as well it was a real shame that the SU-27 never flew during the display weekend as that would have been really something to see. I saw the MiG-29 at RNAS Yeovilton and that was a great thing to watch doing its stuff and ripping through the sky in tight turns and afterburners on full chat during take off and while it was doing its high speed passes in front of the crowd the noise was fantastic.
