People are breaking the rules because they know that they can. It’s a snowball effect - a few people break the rules and others think “I’ve sacrificed all year, why should they break the rules and get away with it whilst I continue to suffer at home” And, as PB notes, friends and loved ones put pre...

amazing what cloud cover does to sounds.

I was told one of the Salisbury Plain ranges is not allowed to fire artillery if there is low cloud. The noise is deafening in one of the local villages

Lots of superb entries as usual. Far to many to mention everything I thought was worthy! Nick and Peter R top drawer as you would expect. Other shots that really caught my eye Seamus's head on Merlin Peter S with the Harrier (happy days) Peter F and I really like the C-130 Sarah's Vulcan SWATCO's Se...

We shall try this one - no sky allowed in the photo AND the aircraft must be airborne. Could look like this: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48841925593_1ab699769f_h.jpg IMG_2645 by Andy Heap , on Flickr or a more standard low level shot: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49965611188_ed8460050...

Good on Ya Gordon!

Many other worth winners to be sure!

I loved the Caribous - might miss these more than the F-111's from the RAAF - they both went at about the same time.

New subject coming right up

This C-47 is painted to represent a RNZAF 42 Sqn airframe that was a VIP machine when the queen came to NZ in 1953 - at the start of her coronation tour.

RNZAF Red Checkers. Not scoring in the performance stakes but they did a very clever and entertaining routine. Would not have been a toilet break item if they had made it to Fairford!

My memory is of a based 135 with full water injection opening the show during the IAT's held at Fairford during the 80s - Everyone within 10 miles of the base knew the show had started!
