RIAT 2013 - Sunday

Post by elderforest »

Hi all,

A selection of images from a very warm RAF Fairford.

Highlight for me on Wednesday was the Super Connie - what a fantastic sound ! Thursday's gem was the gorgeous scheme on the Mirage F1. Friday saw the unique Red Bull B-25 arrive along with the Corsair.

The Saturday show day was dogged with cloudy skies but the A380 and Red Arrows completed a fabulous flypast.

Sunday saw another great flypast by the Reds & A400 but best display for me was the RAF Typhoon.

Cheers.

Sunday

Great stuff Ian! The Super Connie looks fantastic! How is the 2013 round of RIAT leader car bingo going?

Lovely shots Ian, the crew of that German Tonka are the stars of the show right now.

Really looking forward to seeing shots from West of that low pass.

Nice set, but that Transall is a sad sight, looks like it's been standing outside for years...

Super shots Ian!

I love that Transall. Nice to see something weather beaten and operational at a show and not just shiny things.

A great set you have there, particulary liked the last Tornado cockpit shot with the "backseater claw action", .....one in a million capture that is.

Well done

They are all brilliant images but the double handed wave from the Gripen and the claws from the Arctic Tornado guys is just brilliant! Again, stunning images :clap:

The flypast was great, but my prayers for sunshine went unanswered! :sad:
