Hi all. This is my first time posting images on here, although I often lurk and admire others'. :)
This was my second year at the Air Tattoo and I ended up taking some 2500 shots that day, so I have been sifting through and here are what I think are some of the better ones.

I did hear a rumour it was 'a lack of cloud'?? Although i'm not sure what that means exactly?! :)
 
Solo Lanc shot is the pick of these for me. I too saw this strange blue phenomenon that Sunday.

i also have the exact shot you have of the silly orange hand in the back of the Wokka lol

Ha ha yeah, he must have a good grip! No problem on posting mate. You crack on :)
 
I think the first shot of the Red Arrows fanning out and the one of the F-18 with the turbulence(??) do it for me. The formation of E:R was also very good. I've always thought it very difficult to photograph something like this and make each shot stand out...

Yes the f-18 was a corker of a display. Extremely loud too. I was hoping I'd got a shot of it 'pulling vapour' (I think that's what it's called)
Thanks for the comment :)

Not to sound a bit of a nob but the fanning shot is the Republic of Korea Black Eagles. Is a good shot mind
 
Ahhh, so it is - my mistake. I should've gone back to check. You knew which one I was talking about though, right :thinking:

I certainly did pal, although if there had been a shot of the reds fanning out also, then we could have had a right Benny Hill type skit going on :bang:
 
Is anybody able to identify any of the aircraft at all? I was listening to the commentary, but really don't remember!!
 
which ones do you want to know Nick?
