The Llandudno shot is a cracker; you have it dated as 2012, but with RAF100 logos on the aircraft; is this a typo?
Whoops, typo corrected. It was indeed 2018.

Apologies for the delay in judging folks. Hopefully in the next couple of hours or so.

Well that was really difficult, some real quality pictures in there and any number of photos could have been worthy winners.

Worthy of mentioning in dispatches:-
LN Strike Eagle's top of the loop picture
Wrexham Makem's crossover
FarnboroJon's perfect crossover
CJS's pilot and kids picture
Suffolk Blue's Cosford 2018 over the crowd

However, I've gone for these three.

3rd Boff180 - the last photo of the pair flying towards the formation. There was something about the light that is just great.
2nd Jalfrezi - lovely Big Battle formation against a perfect sky.
1st G-CVIX - 2nd Head on shot from Dawlish. Wonderful. Over to you sir.

A fair summation of an excellent comp. So many good photos. Could have had a top 3 of cross-overs alone.

Thank you, Derek! What a nice surprise! Some really excellent shots in there.

I'll have a look through the past themes and get the next one online shortly!
