Farnborough

Farnborough isn't far away, so when it looked like a nice Sunday we wandered down to the airport to watch the display. We didn't fancy paying £40 a head to get in, so we found a pitch on the hill at the end of the runway. The show started with the A400M Atlas and a parachute display:


Airbus 380

Then they put an Airbus up and pushed it through manoevers that it would never do whilst serving dinner in first class...



The Blades

Next up, a display from four Extra EA-300s.


Breitling Jets

The Breitling jets put on a high precision display in seven L-39 C Albatros:



F 18

The F18 was the first thing to make a decent noise:


Breitling Wingwalkers

The girls on the wing put on a great display:



T50B

The T50B from Korea had a cracking paintjob.


Tucano

The RAF Tucano trainer was painted up for the Jubilee:


Red Arrows

Everyone's favorite:




The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight

Lancaster and Spitfire.



Tornado

A pair of Tornados were next. They set about blowing things up:


Vulcan

The one we wanted the most was last: XH558, the Vulcan. They wern't shy of throwing it around the sky.


Postscript

On the way home from our last trip, we saw the strangest thing - a building with a grass roof, with sheep grazing on it...
