Bennygman Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 I went down for the arrivals day on Friday. It was a bit threatening as I drove up, but by mid-morning it was just the odd shower then sunshine all afternoon - I even got sunburnt! Still a bit gloomy when this beast departed... Excellent way to clear off the runway though... A few British Classics... Some nice foreign visitors... A great pairs arrival by the Chinooks... My first chance to shoot a Puma in action... And maybe my last chance of a Jag... We know how the show turned out ... but at least I got this one before the heavens opened too badly... All in all A good weekend, even if I was away by 11:30 on Saturday. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary West Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Such a shame you had to leave so early Steve. Waddington was looking a bit of dodgy prospect a month ago, but with the flying participation of the Boscombe Jag, MRA4 and the Indians, it looked bloody good. Should have been there today, so sad the rain has p***ed all over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdxtnt Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Some beautiful shots there Steve. Love the Jag..............in fact like 'em all Thanks for posting them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bennygman Posted July 1, 2007 Author Share Posted July 1, 2007 Yeah, having been there the day before I decided I'd seen the best I was going to get so I cut my losses and headed home. Not a waste though, I spent a couple of hours shooting detail pics of the F-15E, A-10's and The Navy Wessex in the Falklands enclosure and I finally met a forum member in the person of Vince from 'Models for sale'. Only a brief chat as I thought I'd better let more paying customers into his tent out of the rain, but I did relieve him of a Fujimi 'Romanian Mig-21' and 'Top Gun' A-4E, so at least that's two he won't have to cart back home. I guess most of the traders will be cursing the weather even more than the enthusiasts. Never did find the Heritage Aviation stand though, despite making three circuits looking for it . Steve.
