Wes @ RI@T

[Wes_Howes]

As I'm sure most are aware, the weather throughout the week was changable to say the least and it seemed that the Raptor was cursed, never to display in good weather but then on Friday it finally came good. Sunday was a bit of a let down but the Saturday spent at Totterdown more than compensated for it! Had a right laugh over the 5 days and thanks to all that I met for making it so.

All photo's are shown in the chronological order in which I took them.

Static Tonka arriving in appalling conditions

And the Polish Fitter arrived not long after





Last chance to see this type at RIAT, shame really but was nice to hear the 'Tower recognising the significance of the event









That pass









The beautiful Daimler-Benz engine








Thanks for looking, C+C welcome as always

Cheers

Spitfire topside, C-17 close-up and the static Su22 for me.

What's that open door/flap above the cockpit on the KC-135?

Good catch on the underside vapour on the Typhoon.

Thanks for the kind comments guys, much appreciated!

It would seem the "Four Star General" had problems with his refuelling doors

Some nice shots there Wes. Particularly like the CH-53 and two-seat Spit.

C-17 and Vulcan images get my vote, Wes.

Thanks again guys, Mr Tee, the Spit did a very nice, impromptu display on the Friday evening in lurrrvly light over Totterdown. Tom, as mentioned I was at Totterdown and that gave me ample opportunity to get a nice top side of the Vulcan and to get some shots of the C-17 right on top of us

Smashing set Wes. That C17 pass certainly was something
