I can't beat my shots of the Spitfire & Harrier so back to normal. Despite the best efforts of the weather forecasters, today turned out bright & sunny. Best day so far.

I decided that if the aircraft were too far away I would have to get closer.

First I took a few shots of the helicopters from my old spotting haunt by the river bank.




After they returned from Eastbourne I positioned myself close to the end of the active runway to get a few close-ups. I soon spotted a familiar shape coming in from the sea. Didn't expect to see this today. Not easy to get a good angle when it's coming directly towards you.

These guys took me by surprise. I'm still kicking myself for messing up a great opportunity. You only get one chance.



I saw this chap take off so I was looking out for him. He did a touch & go so I got 2 chances this time & still messed it up. These things come in pretty fast.


A couple of pretty little biplanes for a change. They do a nice sideslip approach cos it's impossible to see over the nose.



Ah, Here's the Harrier at last. I've been waiting all day for this. Imagine lining up behind him.
