There will be another spit (that actually flew combat missions) at the airport, so you may see something of whats been going on..

Rather than jostle with the crowds at the waterfront, I took up postion on a hill beneath the approach path to airport and still got a pretty detailed shot on a 24-105mm on a FF body.

Quite a few crowds down on Weston Shore, but grey skies didn't really help matters..

I went to Warsash but light was a real pain, so no decent shot.
