How good was it to be back at RAF Fairford for the RIAT week! With the weather gods blessing us also, if a little too much at times. A selection from my 6 days at the show

Lovely set and some well thought out compositions. Love the E-4 and Blackjack!

i like those you have some impressive shots

[Blackbird]

A really good set - that Skyhawk shot is a cracker!
Many thanks for posting.

Super set - you can almost feel the afterburners on that Typhoon!

Best catch of the dump and burn too - how far away was he when he did that? Considering that yours is the best and still looks like you were at the limits of your kit I'm guessing it was pretty distant.

Excellent photos, thanks for sharing

[Tommy]

Sensational set!

Thank you for the kind words, guys. Wasn’t too obsessive with photography this year, more enjoying just being back. But came away happy with the efforts

Yes, a very tight crop, even at 550mm. That was from the Saturday. I missed Sundays one, which looked the best of the 3 displays

Some lovely photos there. Are you able to post a few more departures photos.
I had to return home unexpectedly on Sunday evening. Particularly interested isn’t the Swedish historic flight if possible,

Nice, Gripen fart and Frecce shots standing out.
