Wow, I can't believe that was 6 years ago Ian. Here's a few of mine... https://photos.smugmug.com/Low-Flying/Dambusters-Lancaster-Pair-2014/i-CDZtncC/0/472ca18a/O/IMG_0467-5_900.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/Low-Flying/Dambusters-Lancaster-Pair-2014/i-GW5mNS5/0/7c8b822f/O/IMG_0478-6a_900.jpg https:...

What an aircraft.

Well, this is more than a little bit tricky! Some fantastic entries here, I love the more unusual stuff. There's quite a few aircraft here that I'd forgotten about and some I'd never heard of! Special mention to Peter R's QinetiQ 1-11, now that is a nice photo. However, I've picked my top three base...

Another day in the Loop from 2007, back when we had some proper aeroplanes! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50068948261_5182110d25_o.jpg Tornado GR.4 Low Level in Wales by Peter Starling , on Flickr https://live.staticflickr.com/419/32512002501_363e986e3c_b.jpg Jaguar T2 by Peter Starling , on F...

This time I'd like to see your best or most interesting photos of aircraft used for test purposes. That includes aircraft flown by test pilots (ETPS etc) and any aircraft used to test new technology/weapons etc. Three photos maximum please. A few raspberry ripples to get the ball rolling... https://...

Great, that's a nice surprise. I'll have a think and put up a new topic shortly.

Great to see the photos from the Valley photocall. Happy memories from attending a few of those. Good times!

In 2019 I was in Nanaimo on Vancouver Island when the Snowbirds did their annual harbour-front display.

Love the Hercules at sunset Ian. I know what you mean about the sound of the A400M, I've had one at Bluebell, very distinctive!

Back in 2006 I caught this SAOEU marked Tornado low level on the way to RAF Valley for the annual photocall. Wings swept, burners lit, no messing!

2019 saw us back in Canada and another visit to Abbotsford Airshow. This time we went to the Friday evening show, which was simply fantastic.

In 2014 I was honeymooning in Canada, which just happened to coincide with the Abbotsford airshow. It was baking hot and the display was straight into the sun most of the day, but still, a fantastic experience...

Looks like it was another great show.
Good to see the Jetstream and that Spitfire with the clouds looks great!

Thanks for the comments everyone!

Yep, that pretty much sums it up. With no obstructions in front there was pretty much a clear view up and down the flight line, even though front row wasn't right up against the fence. The DH60 was parked quite close to the fence so required some tippy toes and just a touch of clone stamp right at t...

Thanks both.
We arrived at 12:30 for gates opening at 3pm. It was a bit of a wait but well worth it!

As has already been said, this turned out to be a terrific event. It was good to almost feel 'normal' again! We managed to bag ourselves a spot on the front row in zone A - the early bird and all that, so had a great view of all the flying... https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50133185842_e64befba2...
