I can only make tomorrow, and as much as I would love to go, I’m just about fed-up of getting wet at air shows this year (including today).

Given the forcasts and recent weather, I was pleased the rain held out as long as it did. Especially nice to see 558 in some sunshine.

Hoping to head back again tomorrow myself...

I think you're wrong.

I'm informed by a very reliable source that the man in the hat spent the first part of the show on the control tower and was later sighted behind the Airacobra before retiring to the pilot's tent to avoid the rain.

I decided against going today and at the minute I think I've made the wrong decision. Nowhere near was windy here today although it is quite gloomy.

Wel 45 mins away from Duxford where I am its looking really peachy, nearly clear blue sky and minimal wind. Wether its different at Duxford to the north I don't know, but I'm guessing my descision to not go for the second day on the trot hasn't been a good one :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: I've decided I'm emigrating...

Mr A, that's a member of the airshow flight control team. It looks like you're suffering from premature shutter release if you're taking shots like that.
