Nice shots, saw them on the 'other' forum.

Can't wait to see it at the flying legends this weekend!

Bad weather between here and the mainland - it's staying here tonight - might speak nicely to the pilot and see if I can sit in it

Great shots. Any idea if it will be stopping anywhere to refuel on its trip south?

Cheers

Just left - heading straight to Duxford. Got a low fly past and barrel roll when he left. Awesome! Can't wait to get home and download the pics!

Being at work today has been like being paid to go to an airshow! Two Tornado passes in the morning, then a stunning departure of the Red Bull P38. Awesome

Flypast was stunning - when he got close though I could only fit about a half of him in frame! Then my buffer filled up and I missed most of the roll:bonk:
