Just got back to Yeovil from the naughty side. Bought my discounted tickets from work months ago but decided to stay outside and go far south east end upon seeing the forecast yesterday. Doubly glad I did, as for a large part of the flying, the cloud was over and the light was a bit grim. Shooting s...

See you on the "naughty side" @ 10:30 just before the flying starts...have a good day all.

dont worry..only roads are closed in and around yeovilton village itself.

AW609 Has just arrived at Westlands if anyone is interested,
did about 4 circuits and two touchdowns.
Looks very smart and is suprisingly quiet!

Sea Vixen is up over VL now flying aerobatics so hopefully all is well on that front. Watching from my front window

Foxy Lady in air right now over VL doing aerobatics

Fairey Swordfish up. Flew wide arc just south of Yeovil at 11.05. First training flights this year? Its very gusty today. Supprised they are out!

Sorry, but VLAD gets a thumbs up from me. If you want to watch the show that the organisers have worked hard to put on, buy a ticket and accept their terms. If you don't like the organisation, where the sun sits in the firmament or their toilet facilities, don't buy a ticket and stay away. And to b...

Its on this website... m As far as I can tell IT IS more strict this year, it says.... 1. that no person shall, except upon the direction of a police constable in uniform, cause or permit any vehicle or pedal cycle to enter on, proceed or wait in the lengths of road specified in Schedule 1 to this O...

Swiss f18 Just finished his PD,
watching from bedroom window...very nice.

Was in Pyle lane on Friday and Saturday last year. Parked at the weir in the village, as long as you don't block the road, don't park in the police coned off areas or actually down the lane you are ok. Basically there is not much space. enough for maybe 7-8 cars. From the weir its about 5 min trudge...

I saw it had two blobs under the wings from about 2 miles away.
I saw it for less than 15 seconds in 3 snippets between houses. I had no camera or binos.
I did the best I could!

I've seen the pics of it having now landed and those missiles are rather large so at that distance they probably looked like tanks to me.

An F/A-18 of some kind was just (in last 10 mins) flying just north west (1-2 miles circling) of Yeovil,
2 drop tanks, too far away for me too see any markings
Anyone got anymore info? Swiss or Boeing Demonstrator?

If its there fine.... If not dont get too downhearted, its hardly the case that you'll never see it again is it. It'll be at air tatoos for the next 30 years! I thought that about the Nimrod MRA4! D'oh! Touche! Good Sir; Though in this case I think its a question of too big to be allowed to fail, w...

Usual tired clichés about footballers. Appearance fees for their country are a drop in the ocean compared to what they get paid by their clubs in a day. None of them get rich playing for their country, and if they are "playing for cash, not the shirt", then they'll still be playing to win...

I'm what could be called a layman who has a passing interent in F1 and would always have a look to see whats happening in the 'sport'. I'm an engineer by trade so certainly appreciate whats going on. The cars are fantastic peices of kit. But as a televised sporting spectacle this years' season has b...

As someone who would always want to come to the show for 1 day but has neither the time nor the money to spend the whole week there. The removal of the option for an 'either day' advance ticket is a very bad change . I only ever decide to go to an airshow in the week before...based on the final line...

Like these.
Frame-on-the-wall worthy

13 for me

Was there myself on business last week, did a big double take when emerging from my hotel and that was in front of me!

I had seen a US carrier in port, Norfolk Yard I think...but never one with aircraft on before.
Was most interesting sight! Thanks for the record!

Twas' the light what swung it for me, that's ultimately why I decided to go for the lane rather than inside.

Brilliant shots,
However I would expect nothing less.
As others have said, the flare Mk.4 is wonderful.

We did speak briefly several times today Rich lol,
mainly about parking issues though!
I was in the White and Green Hawaiian shirt,
I also didn't want to act like an unwelcome hanger on amongst the
VL photography royalty present today!
