John R Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 For those who don't know Totterdown is a 'park and view' site to the NE of the airfield. It does get you closer to the a/c but this year there was a major problem with a large yellow ball of fire in the sky which gave some difficult lighting conditions. Incidentally it's no place to see the Red Arrows. All their stuff is choreographed for 'head-on' viewing Italian Typhoon Frecce Tricolori USAF Heritage Flight BBMF pix were affected by the lighting but the Spitfire made a nice pass Canadian F-18 Swiss Pilatus PC-9 team Unfortunately I didn't get any decent pictures of the Mirages together A-400M Swedish Gripen Unlike the other jets the Ukrainian Su 27 Flanker produced an almost 'slow motion' display Finnish F-18 A rarity - an RAF Typhoon topside shot - one of the reasons for going to Totterdown 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrritableRabbit Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Thanks for sharing John. 😎 I had a great (one) day there, so it's great to see all the others and from different angles. Cheers. 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Delta 210 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Great show wasn't it? I particularly like the Heritage Flight break and the climbing Flanker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were lucky to see a Fulcrum there mate ;). It must have been in stealth mode ............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of Stealth, I found out yesterday that there was a B2 at RIAT and I didn't see it. Is this correct? Gutted if so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John R Posted July 21, 2018 Author Share Posted July 21, 2018 Thanks for the nice comments. Some more added... Rafale whizzed around like an angry hornet - best display of the day for me, although the Flanker came very close Flanker New a/c to me - Leonardo T346A Master Mirage pair Typhoon formation Norwegian Vampire pair - didn't come very close Leonardo C27J Spartan - did come close BBMF Spitfire made another nice pass Tornado, Lancaster and F35 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidgeRunner Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Nice, John. Crisp and colourful. I went on Friday and Monday and have to disagree. For me the best displays era the Swiss and Solo Turk. It's all in the eye of the beholder, though. Martin Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
