Well done Simon, certainly some different angles from the numerous standard pics, including my own, nice set, thanks for sharing.

Another question, has the aerodrome been sold yet? So the property developers can build loads of new homes for the ridiculously rich to buy up, rent out or leave empty, just so long as they're on the portfolio? I love aircraft, fast jets, and enjoy the pyro's, but from my vantage point on Sunday. t...

Perhaps that could take a look at the control that Bournemouth use, and over the years, very successfully.

Me and a colleague started camping at Fairford when the IAT moved there. We then used the Kempsford until about eight years ago. We had had enough of the sleep disturbed nights and the hours lost, dozing whilst missing the aircraft 'cos we were knackered; the promised but never maintained night secu...

I think it's the passengers with their heads turned.

A great experience, well done getting the pics.

Having been to Kennedy, as said, a very interesting experience, and luckily, I caught a launch of a craft I'd seen on the launch pad there, from Orlando.

I bet he's not in sight when the bbq's are lit.

Well done, nice pic., full house in the cockpits.

Not, if you leave early and miss them!

Well done - I love it when a plan comes together.

I've now got my head round the sound, and can hear them when passing over - reminds me a bit of a Shackleton. It's amazing that, though I live near Heathrow, one can still pick out that sound above all others.

Obviously I'm not "in the know" but the only aircraft of the BBMF at RIAT making smoke was the Griffon powered Spitfire.

Gotta love the Shak - the weirdest noise on a long approach, smashing.

I have to apologize to the Museum as I didn't realize they still, obviously exist and are working well.

I used the viewing village few years ago but the space in the grandstand was so small I could not even have my large (but nowhere near the largest) camera bag in front of me, nor was there enough room to even move to take pictures when two people were next to you. I guess the FRIAT stand is much be...

Pathetic.

Excellent pics Stu; I think we get good value in the Mach 3 package.

There is sadly little real interest in airshow bookings for a Mosquito in this countries current shrinking marketplace. Despite the current enthusuiasm this has not been evident when 2 Mosquitoes came on the market in the UK in airworthy condition in the last 40 years. One ended up with Kermit Week...

I may be giving this a shot, will be travelling from Leicester so will be a 2 hour journey but will try make it early. What is a good time to aim for reaching the venue to miss traffic? Will be my first Duxford visit. So long as you're in the queue after me, I would suggest about 0750 is a good time.

For years I have insisted that when I am stopped and asked to open camera boxes/cases that they look at and view through any lens; sadly, they do have a job to do, but they are not all photographers or familiar with a lot of the equipment. My colleague insists each time on lecturing the security sta...

Interesting write up and thanks for all the comments, good and bad. Let's try this, I hope your son enjoyed his "loopy" outing? Paul Bowen along with Tim Prince instigated the International Air Tattoo, which has grown and grown, becoming The Royal International Air Tattoo, and Paul passed...

Finally back home! My wife and I completed our honeymoon trip of Europe and the first stop was RIAT 2017. RIAT was not something I ever really imagined I would attend, and getting the chance to cross it off my bucket list was amazing. We got the Mach 3 FRIAT package and stayed at the Colesbourne In...

sorry for duplicate post

While I try not to be a rude photographer .......................... Sadly, you have stirred a "can of worms". We all have different wants, and emotions, especially when it comes to our hobbies. A little patience with those who actually would not understand what we as (alleged) considerat...

That's absolutely brilliant!
