It was the last of 2008's 'at home' at Breighton this afternoon, and after the rest of this year I didn't hold out much hope. However for once the sun shone for much of the afternoon, and we didn't get any rain, although there was a lot of water on the airfield.
To begin with I took a few low level shots on the 'point and shoot', so apologies that the quality isn't great.
Still some water around
There was a massed flypast of seven helicopters, including these two. The last thread I had on the old forum featured a number of yellow aircraft and helicopters - can't seem to get away from them!!
Comments and criticisms welcome.

Re: Low down on Breighton
Nice shots, totally forgot about Breighton today. More shots would be most welcome.

Re: Low down on Breighton
Some nice images Steve, but they look very heavily compressed. Lots of JPEG artefacts around the edges and areas of detail.
Re: Low down on Breighton
After the helicopter flypast the BBMF performed a number of passes in the Mk IX Spitfire followed by a mass flypast of fixed wing aircraft. All of this was to salute Brian Brown, our airfield manager, who died tragically at Shoreham last September.
