Agree with all the comments. The military planes where brilliant! The Pitt Special was amazing too.

The paddock was well worth a tour. The Merlin engined Rolls Royce and the Napier Railtons were very cool.

I took the car home with no issues and then dropped Aeroman home in the tin top and the bonnet opened at about 60 and smashed the windscreen and dented the roof. Drove home but down to two sweaters now :D Cannot take the garden cr&p to the tip tomorrow so no gardening :D :D

Sounds like a great show, and a good turnout.

Bonnet incident sounds a bit scary Paul, main thing you are ok, gardening can wait till next bank holiday, tip will be rammed with numpties anyhow. :)

Great day of cars, planes, people and the odd Pimms! Gotta give the Chinook a mention as crazy awesome display too. One more dry hour would have been good...... But then sitting in the Tiger watching the Red Arrows while we waited for grumpy bearded hat man to escort us out wasn't all bad! :D

Fab pics Tony, have one or two to add that may be of interest to you, will get Mr T to sort them. Gutted I didn't get the camera out fast enough to capture him and Steve holding hands and skipping across the field to the toilets though :) :)

Crunchie. Stop breaking cars.
