Hi all,
Some of my photos from the Super Saturday instalment of Airbourne 2015. All taken from Beachy Head.
Before the show, we were treated to a lovely pass from the Blenheim and 2 Spitfire trainers...

I am so happy to have been able to witness what follows before the aircraft retires later this year. I am sure that everyone who was on Beachy Head will remember this for a long, long time!
11. The mighty Vulcan...

The applause on the cliffs as the Vulcan flew away really showed how much this meant to everybody.
