Missed most of due, largely due to the weather – no great desire to stand in the rain for 8 hours watching the odd flyby. As it was it brightened up in the afternoon and we caught the tail-end. Shame, from what I saw in the distance as we arrived we missed a good day – simulated air-ground attacks and such.
Shall look out for it next year, I think. I’ll put some of the better photographs on the gallery in a day or so, but for now here’s a few that caught my eye. Just a shame my camera, lens, slow reactions (and the weather) couldn’t do these justice. Maybe next time.
