Morning all,

here's a few shots from my travels over the last month or so. Firstly, a visit to SPTA where a sole Gazelle in the morning was the only activity of a frsutrating day...

This was followed up by a bumper weekend of airshows at Duxford and Bruntingthorpe

The following week involved a couple of trips to Fairford, one of which included another visit to SPTA, with Old Warden's fantastic Fly Navy show in between. A busy few days!

Rounding off was a so-so affair at Weston, with a Typhoon providing the only real highlight, pulling plenty of vapour in the process

Thanks guys, it's certainly been fun chasing chasing these all over the country, and with Yeovilton and RIAT just around the corner, the best is yet to come!

Stunning photos! Thank you for sharing them! One question on the Victor. Do the square scoops on top of the fuselage in front of the vertical stab retract? They cool as heck sticking out in the breeze! :pilot:
