Nice shots Bones. The Tornado is magnificent. Wink

I know the problem with the light only too well. Unfortunately it will be the same at the RAFA show at the end of this month.

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

Great photos Ken, love the Tornado, that one is a frequent visitor to Yeovil and should be there this year aswell.
And as always love the harrier, Looks like the GR9 maybe GR7. More a fan of the sea harriers but nothing wrong with the airforce:)

I was right, partially, as is doug, it is the GR7. There is no GR4 harrier, the GR4 is the tornado. Thats from 4 sqaud, RAF Cottersmore

I love the Harrier but I'm no expert on the various types. I was looking at 2 examples of the GR7 for the best part of 4 days last week. Lovely. Wink

It's not the same aircraft but yours looks very much like the one in the shots I posted earlier. http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=photos;action=display;num=...

According to my information the Harrier in my shots is a GR7 from 20 (R) Squadron (OCU) based at RAF Wittering. It was flown by Flt/Lt Chris Margiotta, now in his 2nd season as the RAF Harrier GR7 display pilot. He was kind enough to give me a brochure.
