RIAT Fairford 2017 sunday

[Martin Clay]

Two years since my last visit. Weather for Sunday was, by all accounts, better than Saturday but grey skies and grey aircraft aren't a very inspiring mix. Focusing is a challenge for the camera and flights generally were just "rolling" displays. Highlights though were seeing the Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor and the Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit Stealth bomber along with our very own Avro Lancaster Bomber.

bit of a shame the clouds give a bit of flat lighting

Was there on the Saturday. Wet, dull and overcast with heavy clouds, managed to get a few keepers (one even made today's flickr explore / Album) but it was hard hard work. Looks like Sunday was marginally better, and all reports stated that it brightened up towards the afternoon with a little sunshine. Nice little set @Martin Clay
