was actually going to go today, but after a 6 day work week, and with at least 13 days before my next day off I decided against it, when I saw it was 10am by the time I woke up Grin

Twas a good show, and Raytheon's huge... place... was great, especially watching the A380 from there

Vid probably coming soon.

I saw him at Biggin hill a couple of months ago, but it was a guy being towed by an Extra 300 doing aerobatics, see

Don't think he performed that day.

Video coming later tonight provided I can get it uploaded quick enough. It's 21mins long and has some great closeups.
