Well, after a cloudy showery start, the day got hotter and hotter.
Havnt had chance to go through pics yet, but here are a few quick ones.

Dean,

It flew on Sunday which was good to see and weather wasn't too bad with about 10-20 mins of persistant rain all day. The best bit was today though with all the departures. As I was staff, I was able to drive my car onto the airfield via the green cone road and park up on the grass near the Static B1.

No trade vans, no VIPs just the aircrew, techies, ATC doing litter collections and about 6 of us with the necessary passes and cameras. Was able to stand very close (20ft) to most aircraft that taxied from the static park.

Was wondering down the main taxi way on Friday afternoon and this gentleman parked up the red & white bulldog and started to walk towards me. Suddenly clocked him and realised it was Bruce Dickinson from Iron Maiden :notworthy:. Cue camera burst, autograph & handshake. Weekend complete.

Excelent as usual Dean! You captured the F117 really well considering it is just a black blob in the sky,...

Shame the B52 didnt fly on the Saturday, would of been good to see. We were going to stay but decided to head back home after talking to a few of the pilots at the hotel we were in. They were very dissapointed with the weather reports,... Wish we stayed for the deprtures now :-(.

Nice one Dean.

King.

Some really nice shots here... the Nighthawk and B1 have come out nice, we went sunday and today for departures and the 99% of the pics from sunday were 'Dire' and that is being charitable

today was rather better getting to see the static stuff depart... although we did get a heavy shower this afternoon
cheers Chris
