desmojen Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Today was our families day for 2007. Unfortunately the airshow was much depleted because of the date, we're celebrating the Hercules 40th year in service, but this week is the Red's week off, and hence, the rest of the RAF display aircraft! I was there all day with our bike club and managed to tick off another ambition when I went for a little fly in a glider before lunch. Shortly after lunch, the ambulance copter arrived for us to hand over a nice little cheque ( a recent motorcycle club fundraiser which was in aid of the Wiltshire Ambulance copter) Had a nice chat with the paramedic who claims they call us motorcyclists butterflys because we are brightly coloured, and some of us don't last long! Was a scorching day, I'm sunkissed again and pleased to be home with a nice long drink Pics then. The ambulancecopter arriving A Spitfire. As far as I'm aware, it is illegal in this country to see a Spitfire and not photograph it. So here you go The best thing about families day is the way you can get up close and personal. 1FTS Tucano. Couple of big ones came over. And a little one. And I couldn't resist this shot of one of our nice clean well cared for front line jets! Hope you like, Jen.

Bennygman Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 The Tucano shot especially is a beauty Jen. I like the contrast between the smooth surface of the side and the chunkiness of the rivets under the roundel - really nice Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
