Hi all,

A great day at the Western end for departures today, well worth the trip up there: -

Good set in some challenging conditions today. Enjoyed my day at the West End today but couldn't hang on for the E6. :sad:

Thanks I.L.L, I thought it was a good day in the West end as well considering the conditions. I left straight after the E6 myself, preferring a reasonably sane drive back to Gosport rather than taking my chances with the business grand prix that takes place on the A34 and M3 every weekday from 5!!!!

Nice shots mate - I was trying to get a shot of the F-4 full frontal but just as it got into position a chap moved in front of me and blocked the view

It may have been you :handbag:

Sadly I saw a post that a Bronco has crashed at Kemble today.On Monday I went to Kemble after the airshow and spotted the same one that was at FFD.Not sure if its the d same plane if one could verify and post it!!

Nice shots Kev, and good to meet you yesterday. You'll be pleased to know the C5 left about 15 minutes after you did...
